Vicious Gardens

Players build a competitive garden by placing plant cards into plots, harvesting them into Victory Cards, and activating abilities to expand options. Each plant yields points but also represents a timing decision: harvest for immediate advantage or keep growing for bigger payoff. Specialist cards let players sabotage opponents or manipulate play, but they occupy hand space and often require trade-offs. Rounds proceed quickly with shifting opportunities and occasional dramatic point swings as gardeners harvest and counter each other. Variable card abilities and an optional team mode for larger groups keep each session different.
