I guess if the game is fun that’s what matters. I don’t understand it from reading the back. Must be a sign that bonsai is gaining in popularity I assume.

I must say It looked confusing but could be the person is making it overly complicatedTried to watch, got really really REALLY bored and confused.
Also, its monday so my brain is not fully revved up yet. Definitely considering it for the art style alone.

The fatal flaw for this game looks to me like that the trees are ugly!

It is definitely suitable for fans of beautiful board games, and the box design is top-notch - pleasant graphics immediately create the right mood.Was in Barnes and Noble a few days ago. Ran across this game among the other odd board games.
Judging by the back of the box, the game is tied to balancing resources, choosing the right tiles and gradually building your tree, and this can be a great combination of strategy and aesthetics. I think this is one of those games where not only the result is important, but also the process itself: you sit, select parts, watch the tree grow right on your table. This format is similar to how people choose platforms for entertainment - they care not only about mechanics, but also about the feeling of pleasure and involvement. For example, I read that https://pokieslab.co.nz/ offer the best gaming platforms and also focus on making the process comfortable and enjoyable, and not just about numbers. I think Bonsai will also find its audience among those who love board games with soul and visual beauty.

It’s a calm, strategic game that really makes you think a few moves ahead, almost like a mini mindfulness exercise. It reminded me of playing mobile games where planning your team matters a lot—while looking up hero wars best team top 10 team combinations ranked, I noticed how much strategy can change the outcome. I also discovered Scrambly through this—it lets you explore apps and games while earning rewards. There’s no subscription, cashouts are super quick, and the ID verification only takes a few minutes. Depending on how much time you spend, you can earn $50–$500 a month just by trying new games and apps, which felt like a really fair setup.
I want to try it as well

Oh I played this game. It was not fun enough to play a second time, and I re-echo my critique that the trees are ugly.
