Solar Gardens

Build a greener future, one garden at a time.

Solar Gardens is a tile-placement strategy game where 2–5 players compete to create flourishing eco-utopias powered by thoughtful design, renewable energy, and community.

Build tranquil garden environments with solar farms, windmill arrays, water filters, and cultural hubs, arranging your tiles to create a thriving vision of what sustainable living might look like.

With 90 vibrant tiles featuring artwork by Daniel Clarke, accessible rules, and plenty of room to rethink your strategy from one game to the next, Solar Gardens brings sustainability and innovation to the table without forgetting that a game should also be genuinely fun to play.

Why We Love It

Optimistic by design. Instead of surviving a ruined world, you're imagining a better one—and figuring out how all its pieces might work together.

Beautiful on the table. Daniel Clarke's colorful artwork turns each developing garden into its own little landscape.

Approachable strategy. Tile placement makes the game easy to get into while giving players plenty of interesting choices as their gardens grow.

The values extend beyond the theme. The game is made with biodegradable, plastic-free materials and paper-based packaging elements, bringing some of its sustainability thinking into the physical product itself.
