Botanicus invites you to build a botanical garden in the late 19th century. As an aristocrat, you acquire land, hire a gardener and set out to collect the finest plants. Your visitors are particular about which plants they want to see, so it's not enough to simply gather them. You also need to arrange your collection to match what the visitors ask for.

How it plays

Players compete for the best action spots through a unique selection mechanism, then make the most of the actions they've won. Plants arrive in four growth stages: seeds, sprouts, grown plants and, finally, plants in full blossom. Along the way you'll need to water your plants and keep an eye on your gardener.
