Welcome to the world of photosynthesis, the green strategy board game! plant and shape the ever-changing forest as you cultivate your seeds and your strategy. Take your trees through their life-cycle, from seedling to full bloom to rebirth, and earn points as their leaves collect energy from the revolving sun’s rays. Carefully pick where you sow and when you grow, as trees in the shadows are blocked from light, and from points. This game features realistic gameplay and beautiful graphics.
A Game About Growing Trees?? Yes and it works! I had the chance to get a copy of Photosynthesis and meet the designer for a few minutes at the Blue Orange booth at GenCon. Hjalmar Hach was incredibly nice and described the game as a “gamerâs game”, probably not for my family with young kids.Things I liked:Beautiful Artwork â Itâs a game about trees! Yet, each of the four players have their own unique tress, making up a forest tableau in front of them. The tree components and the board look good, box cover is cool…
Excellent Use of Theme, Beautiful Artwork Gameplay – 9/10Theme – 10/10Artwork – 10/10Components – 10/10Overall – 10/10Don’t be fooled by the beautiful artwork, or the adorable little illustrated animals hidden within the components, Photosynthesis is a vicious abstract strategy game, and it’s probably the best use of thematic gameplay for any tabletop game in 2017, worthy of being equated with other top tier uses of theme in designing gameplay, such as Shadows Over Camelot, Blood Rage, and just about…
Brilliant, Abstract Euro-Game! Photosynthesis is a brilliant, abstract Euro-game! It also has outstanding production values and an utterly unique and original theme! It’s only flaw (and it’s a big one in my book, hence the loss of one star) is that it DOES NOT scale well in my experience. Photosynthesis is PERFECT at 3-players, ok at 2-players and too long at 4-players, IMO. Still, this game is highly recommended.
