Step into the radiant future of Solar Gardens! Solar Gardens is a light-hearted, tile-drafting board game where players will take on the role of a visionary architect specializing in carbon-neutral engineering to build a rooftop garden in harmony with nature. Each square tile placed on your player board will require a sense of strategy and imagination to outwit your opponents and make your garden the most beautiful and environmentally conscious. To create your own utopia and win the game, players must score the most points by using the tiles to build solar farms, windmill systems, water filters, and cultural hubs. This game uses principles of sustainability, innovation, and community, encouraging players to harness renewable energy to create tranquil garden environments. Solar Gardens includes an easy-to-learn rulebook and 90 tiles for players to express their creativity. -description from the publisher
