Expand the Overview
The Photosynthesis Board Game is a two-to-four player game in which players compete to grow their forests by taking turns planting and collecting seeds. Over the course of the game, each player takes turns strategically placing their tree tokens on the board with an aim to capture as much light as possible from the Sun dice. As players progress through the game, they eventually fill up their forest and must start exploring around the existing trees to gain higher energy points. The tokens used include: a seed for new trees, a sapling for strengthening existing trees, and a root for rooting them into place.
Players must maximize their tree placement to block opponents from gaining light and planting trees while also attempting to shade out opposing trees that are too close. There are multiple strategies you can employ trying to limit your opponents access to sunlight including blocking off area where sun dice cannot reach or overlapping on an opponent’s previous tree addition.
The game has been awarded multiple games awards including: Mensa Select Award Winner 2017, Outstanding Product 2018 at Origins Awards, Family Game of the Year 2018 at Spiel des Jahres Awards and As d’Or Jeu de l’Année Nominee 2018 at Cannes International Games Festival.
