Step into the serene world of ancient bonsai cultivation with this captivating game that invites you to become a master bonsai artisan.

The term 'bonsai' means 'planted in a pot,' but this game transcends mere gardening; it transforms humble plants into breathtaking living artworks, each a testament to elegance in miniature form.

In Bonsai, players take on the role of enthusiastic gardeners, nurturing and cultivating their own bonsai trees. The ultimate goal? To present a stunning display at the prestigious Imperial Gardens and claim your place among the masters.

Every turn presents you with two enticing actions: Meditate or Cultivate.

Meditate: Select one of the face-up cards on the board to collect, along with any Bonsai tiles illustrated below it.

Cultivate: Enrich your bonsai masterpiece by strategically placing tiles from your personal supply into your miniature landscape. Harness the total symbols on your Seishi tile and Growth cards to maximize your place tiles – each move is crucial to executing your grand strategy.

As your bonsai evolves, you'll discover Goal tiles at the center of the table. Meet or exceed the requirements of a Goal tile, and you face an exciting choice: will you seize it now, or aim for something even more ambitious?

The game reaches its climax when the final deck card is revealed. Points are calculated based on the tiles adorning your bonsai, ultimately deciding who stands victorious.

For solo enthusiasts, Bonsai features specialized scenarios with unique rules and challenges, including the exhilarating Emperor Challenge. Are you ready to cultivate your exceptional bonsai masterpiece and earn your status as a true bonsai master?
