Vicious Gardens is the hit card game that combines the joy of gardening with the thrill of being a total jerk. Strategically cultivate your garden, harvest eccentric plants, and sabotage your neighbors in a "cozy" cut-throat competition.

Cultivate Quirky & Beautiful Plants: 
Grow and harvest eccentric plants such as Fuzzlesquash, Spotted Bildge, or Floofberry in your garden. Over 70 uniquely named and illustrated plants are guaranteed to captivate and entertain — even if your neighbor ends up stealing them!

Employ an Eccentric Cast of Specialists: Vicious Gardens has a unique cast of specialists ready to sabotage your opponents and help your garden flourish: Wormsworth, Beebeard, the Curmudgeon, and many more. Use these Specialists to obtain garden upgrades and Victory Cards. But beware, your competition can hire their own Specialists.

Harvest for Victory Cards: Obtain special abilities by harvesting your plants to attain Victory Cards, too. Adding Victory Cards such as Carnivorous Plants and Gnudist Gnomes are your surest way to victory. Once a gardener has accumulated three Victory Cards in their garden, the End of the Season (a.k.a. end of the game) begins!

My friends and I have played this at three game nights in a row now, and the sabotage cards never get old. The way you can harvest weird plants while ruining your neighbor's whole strategy keeps everyone on edge. Definitely worth it if you like games where winning feels a little evil.

Sabotaging my neighbor's prized sunflower while they tried to build their own garden combo was the highlight of our whole session. The plant cards are properly weird, and the rulebook takes about five minutes to get, which is rare for a strategy game. I've already lost twice and I'm still grinning a
