Terrariums are works of living art, lush worlds cradled within glass walls. Use care to cultivate and protect your fragile environment.

Caring for a terrarium takes time and energy, even without a pesky critter chewing on your hard work! Take care of your freshly-planted succulents by moving them around to develop the resources they need. As the critter advances, it wreaks havoc on your miniature garden. Limit its damage while still growing your plants as high as you can manage to earn the title of Master Gardener!

EXPANSION:

Centerpieces (3 Critter Cards, 3 Centerpiece Cards)

Make your terrarium really sparkle by introducing a centerpiece plant. Be warned: these unusual plants bring equally unusual critters.

This 6-card expansion introduces 3 new Centerpiece plants as well as 3 new Critter cards. You may use either a Centerpiece or a new Critter separately, or you can add one of each.

To include one of the new Centerpiece plants, simply add it above the center position of the top row. You must grow the Centerpiece before the game ends by arranging plants in the terrarium in a specific pattern. Once the pattern is formed, the Centerpiece is grown by flipping it over and resolving its effect, after which it is considered completed.

When using a new Critter card, it replaces any other Critter card and acts using the same core rules for movement. Each of the new Critters has its own method of dealing damage, as well as a constant effect that restricts your actions regarding certain plants.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Isabella ★★★★★

The pest mechanic kept me tense the whole first play—every time I ignored a leaf too long it cost me. Turns out protecting a fragile little ecosystem is way harder than it looks, and I've already talked two friends into grabbing a copy.

Ruby ★★★★★

I’ve put a solid week into my little terrarium and it’s genuinely addictive how the glass walls make every leaf placement feel precious. The care system is deep enough to keep me planning my next move during work breaks, and watching the fragile ecosystem thrive is oddly satisfying.

Kevin V. ★★★★★

I usually lose interest in games where you just tap and wait, but the way the glass fogs up and the plants react to neglect actually got me hooked. It’s genuinely relaxing to watch a tiny ecosystem thrive when you’ve put in the daily care.
