Arboretum – A Beautifully Strategic Garden Card Game

Plant with Purpose. Compete with Care. Cultivate the Perfect Path.

Step into a tranquil yet competitive world of natural beauty in Arboretum, a strategic card game where players cultivate their own serene garden paths using vibrant trees from around the world. Beneath its peaceful theme lies a surprisingly tense and clever game of hand management and tactical placement.
Can you create the most breathtaking arboretum — and still hold the keys to score it?

In Arboretum, players carefully select which cards to place, keep, or discard each turn. Build ascending tree-lined paths of matching species for the highest scores — but you’ll only earn points for a path if you also hold the highest-value cards of that species in your hand. Every decision matters in this elegant blend of beauty and strategy.
