A Gaming Life
(Edit – 12/20/19: For those finding this post some other way, the review is up!)
I know what you’re thinking.
Two posts in one day? Really? Dave, are you sick?
As I was finishing today’s review, I received an interesting email with exciting news, especially since it refers to a really hard-to-get game that I played for the first time recently and really enjoyed. I couldn’t wait to share it.
Yes, the brilliant Arboretum card game (designed by Dan Cassar and originally published by ZMan Games back in 2015) is being published by Renegade Games Studio and coming out in Autumn 2018!
This game of tree-growing and vicious back-stabbing gardeners is very highly-regarded and I was excited when I finally got to play it back in March.
It lived up to its reputation.
But it’s so hard to find!
Not for much longer.
This new edition will have brand new art by the wonderful Beth Sobel. The new edition will have the same rules, but some new types of trees will be on the cards and the game will be made more color-blind friendly, which is definitely a plus.
I can’t wait to see images from this version of the game.
Here’s a picture from the previous version, just to give you an idea.
Until then, we’ll have to settle for that great logo above and wait with great anticipation for Autumn to come.
Arboretum is expected to retail for $20.
Oh man time to preorder, that’s going to sell like hot cakes! I wonder if they got Archaeology as well. Cheers for the good news!
