Arborea – A Lush, Strategic Worker Placement Game

Guide the Land. Shape the Seasons. Cultivate a Thriving Ecosystem.

Step into the vibrant world of Arborea, where you take on the role of a Patron Spirit, leading villagers on sacred pilgrimages to rejuvenate the land and build a thriving ecosystem. This innovative euro-style worker placement game challenges you to master the flow of time, plan ahead, and adapt your strategy as the seasons shift and opportunities unfold.
Will your guidance create a flourishing land — or fade into forgotten soil?

In Arborea, workers are placed on Action Tracks, representing journeys through the natural world. These tracks advance over time, and the farther your workers travel, the more powerful the rewards when they are activated. Contribute to the Shared Resource Track, make divine offerings to the Sages, and attract animals to your land — all while crafting a personal Ecosystem board of terrain cards and habitats that will score you points by game’s end.
