Planning actions, plants and visitors

Botanicus uses a distinctive action-selection system that makes you watch both your own plan and the opportunities available to other players. Timing determines when you obtain plants, water them, move your gardener and efficiently satisfy visitor requirements. A game usually takes 45–60 minutes.

Botanicus combines approachable strategy, route planning, financial management and gradual garden development. It rewards good timing and planning several steps ahead, making it a strong mid-weight eurogame for players who enjoy nature themes.
