"Excellent game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Probably the most enjoyment per dollar I have spent on a board game. Simplicity in how to play, extreme difficulty to master but fun and tense every time. An absolute winner that's not too long to play and completely family friendly

"Stunning visuals, great game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A board playing family with several games for Christmas and this was the one that everyone wanted to keep playing! Great as a two player as much as a three or four player game. Kept us absorbed for hours..

"Great Game, for sure"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Super intuitive yet challenging game, seems good for all ages, maybe even for the young since it's visual and 3D.

Description

In Photosynthesis, take your trees through their life cycle, from seedling to full bloom to rebirth, and earn light points as their leaves collect energy from the revolving sun’s rays. Carefully pick where you sow and when you grow, as trees in the shadows are blocked from light, and from light points. Players score light points if their trees are in the direct lines of sun rays or taller than the trees blocking them from the sun rays. In a second phase, players use their light points to reserve seeds or trees, and then plant or grow them on the board. Points are scored by maturing trees and removing them from the board.
