About the project

Plantae Mea is the first “solo” board game to play with your own plants.

Team up with your vegetal mate and help it to grow new leaves and stems. Mind the sun, the water and even you can become its ally as much as its enemy. But the plant can also turn the tables. Inspired by the variable player powers mechanism, the plant has its own ability sheet and action cards. So who will be your best plantmate?

Determine its abilities that will modify the flow of the game, interact with it to discover what action it wants to play, and let it roll its die. Between variable player powers mechanism, tile placement, and pattern building, Plantae Mea is not just about chance, you will have to be strategic and choose carefully where to add stems and leaves to get the most points. Plantae Mea is also designed for an introspective experience and to generate tenderness and empathy toward plants.

The more the plant is happy the more it gets closer to you.All the materials have been chosen carefully for a more immersive, natural and cozy play experience. Get a tea, put on nice music, find a comfortable place and let’s play!
