About the game
Planted invites you to become a plant parent, collecting and caring for your own houseplant collection across 42 varieties like the fiddle leaf fig and monstera. Each round you draft cards to gather light, water, and plant food, feeding your plants the right combination to help them thrive. Tools and decorations unlock bonus points along the way. Designed by Phil Walker-Harding, it's an easy-to-learn drafting and set-collection game about nurturing a beautiful nursery.
