'Ecologies' Card Game
(Publisher's Description)

In ECOLOGIES, you build and maintain food webs in diverse biomes around the world. Each biome has a different ecology, and gives unique rewards when it is healthy and balanced. But watch out, your opponents may decide it's easier to disturb and degrade your ecosystems than nurture their own. In this hectic environment, you must choose how best to protect and care for your ecologies.

Designed by a biology teacher, the game includes 77 unique organisms, 7 biomes, and beautiful vintage Victorian art. (108 cards total)

The game play is rooted in authentic science, as it is used in the classroom to teach real concepts to biology students. While it is scientific enough for the classroom, it is also strategic enough for any game night.

There is a 24 page rule book included with the card game that also gives an overview of the science.

'Evergreen'
(Publisher's Description)

Evergreen is a tree-growing strategy game for 1-4 players where your goal is to build a lush ecosystem by planting sprouts, growing trees, and placing other natural elements on your planet, trying to make it the greenest and most fertile of all. You choose biome cards from a common pool to determine which area of your planet you'll develop in a round. The cards not chosen make those regions more fertile, and thus more valuable. To create a huge forest, you want to grow trees, plant bushes, and place lakes, while using the power of nature to gain extra actions. Ideally you can concentrate your trees in the most fertile areas, but without them overshadowing one another as you also want them to collect as much light as possible.

'Renature'
(Publisher's Description)

Help nature reclaim what is hers by restoring a polluted valley to its pristine state. Place your animal dominoes along the course of a brook and replant the surrounding land to score points. But when is the best moment to plant each of your various plants? And where are the best spots to do so? These are the questions you must answer to win.

In Renature, each player has dominoes with animals on them and a number of different plants. On your turn, you place a domino from your hand so that it matches all its neighbors. Then, you may place a plant beside it in an area. You gain points based on the size and number of plants there, and hopefully later again when the area is scored – either because it is surrounded by dominoes or at the end of the game.

The best players know how to manage their hands to form a long term strategy and adapt to surprises, how to figure out and block their opponents' designs, and how heavily to commit to each of the many tense contests that occur across the board.
From the legendary design duo of Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling comes a game of simple rules coupled with a multitude of exciting decisions and tactical possibilities. Underneath an easy rule set lies a multitude of tricky decisions and tactical possibilities. This, combined with stunning components and beautiful theme, makes Renature a great fit for casual players and heavy gamers alike.

'Meadow'
(Publisher's Description)

Experienced nature observers bravely roam the area in search of plants, animals and various curiosities. They eagerly use their knowledge - in the meadows, among the grasses, they can spot small rodents, and since they are here, maybe a buzzard, a fox or even a viper will appear in a moment!

Meadow is a board game in which players take the role of wanderers watching nature. Equipped with a map, they stroll through the picturesque surroundings, looking for inspiration and capturing breathtaking views. Players are driven by passion and curiosity, but also by competition for the title of the keenest nature observer! It will be awarded to whoever scores the most points from the observed species of animals and plants, landscapes and souvenirs collected from the hike. Competition continues by the fire, where players compete in achieving the goals of their expeditions.

Hi everyone,

For 13 years I'm a Permies-reader, now I have something to post:
I just wanted to share something I’ve been working on that combines my love for permaculture and games: Permaplay. It’s not just a game—it’s also a really valuable tool for anyone interested in learning about plants, designing gardens, or diving deeper into permaculture.

The set includes 128 cards filled with practical plant information. You can learn things like:

Which plants thrive in wet or dry soil.
Whether a tree needs a pollination partner.
How to plan your garden for year-round harvests.
What I love about it is how versatile it is—there are lots of different ways to play. From quick and fun guessing games to more strategic design challenges, it works for all ages and brings people together across generations.

It’s been such a helpful resource for me personally, and I thought it might resonate with others here, too.

By the way…
I’m also looking for partners to help bring Permaplay to more people. If you’ve ever thought about combining permaculture and a small business idea, or if you know someone who runs a shop where this might fit perfectly, let me know!

I’d love to connect, either to share more about the cards or to chat about possible collaboration.

You can reach me at info@permaculture-design.de.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 😊
