From the introduction: You will take up the position of either Mankind or Plantkind in this game. The Wild west ain’t what it used to be and the plants are trying to take over. As a Horticulturalist, you are trying to stake your claims in towns and fields, battling those vicious plants and prevent them from taking over. As a plant you are trying to absorb as much land as possible before those soil stealing humans take it all. Each of the Gardeners and the Plants have a different Ace in the hole. Whichever side of the slaw you come down on, you’ll want to pick your trick carefully. And while it mentioned on the cards, it’s worth mentioning here as well, Each character has a starter garden in addition to their character card. The plants are also considered garden cards, they are just smaller gardens. User summary: Requires a custom card pack which is included as a print-and-play component.
