DESCRIPTION

A bonsai is a living work of art, a perfect miniature tree, a microcosm that contains within itself, unchanged in everything except its size, the mystery of the universe. Demonstrate that you have a “green thumb”, grow your own bonsai and obtain a prestigious place in the imperial gardens to display your masterpiece!

In Bonsai , players take on the role of expert bonsai masters intent on cultivating their own bonsai.
Whoever grows the best plant will be commissioned to display their bonsai in the imperial gardens.

On your turn, choose and perform one of these two actions: meditate or cultivate.
If you meditate, choose one of the face-up cards on the board and take it, along with all the Bonsai tiles depicted under the card you drew.
If you grow, you can place tiles from your personal reserve in your Bonsai. You can place as many tiles as the total symbols depicted on your Seishi tile and any or all of your Growth cards. Each symbol will allow you to place a tile of the corresponding type.

During the turn in which your bonsai meets or exceeds the requirements of an Objective tile that is still in the center of the table (for example, the Objective tile has not yet been claimed by any player), you must immediately choose whether you want to claim that tile or whether you want to give it up in order to try to obtain a more difficult Objective tile.

When the last card of the deck is revealed, the end of the game is triggered. Each tile in your bonsai is worth a certain number of points.

In the solo game you can try Additional Scenarios that change some of the rules and objectives, and ultimately try to pass the Emperor's Challenge.
