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 sister stopped talking to me for about ten minutes after I sabotaged her prize orchid, and honestly that's the sign of a good game. The sabotage cards are the whole appeal here — you can be ruthless without it feeling mean-spirited, since everyone's scheming the same way. We played four rounds st

Brought this to game night and by round three everyone was hoarding the eccentric plants and sabotaging each other without mercy. The sabotage mechanics are what make it, honestly — you can quietly wreck a friend's whole garden and just smile. We played four rounds straight, nobody wanted to stop.

Victoria J. ★★★★★

My sister got weirdly competitive about sabotaging my garden, which I did not see coming. The eccentric plant cards are genuinely funny, and a full game wrapped up in about half an hour.
