Gnomadic Gardeners

Design and art by Chris Scaffidi

Light-weight card game of garden gnomes for 1-2 players

1-2 players / Ages 14+ / 10-20 minutes

Cooperative / Head-to-Head / Solo

The gnomes that you manage at the community garden are free-spirited: the cards that you play to do garden tasks become the other player’s cards for the next round.

Efficiently deploy your gnomes, recruit enchanted animals to help you score, and race to complete garden tasks for the win!

If you enjoy Star Realms and Happy Little Dinosaurs, then you’ll probably enjoy the tactical challenge of Gnomadic Gardeners.

12 gnome cards
