What is Arboretum
Arboretum is a strategy card game for 2-4 players, aged 10 and up, that combines set collection, tile-laying and hand management while playing in about 25 minutes. Players try to have the most points at the end of the game by creating beautiful garden paths for their visitors.
The deck has 80 cards in ten different colors, with each color featuring a different species of tree; each color has cards numbered 1 through 8, and the number of colors used depends on the number of players. Players start with a hand of seven cards. On each turn, a player draws two cards (from the deck or one or more of the discard piles), lays a card on the table as part of her arboretum, then discards a card to her personal discard pile.
When the deck is exhausted, players compare the cards that remain in their hands to determine who can score each color. For each color, the player(s) with the highest value of cards in hand of that color scores for a path of trees in her arboretum that begins and ends with that color; a path is a orthogonally adjacent chain of cards with increasing values. For each card in a path that scores, the player earns one point; if the path consists solely of trees of the color being scored, the player scores two points per card. If a player doesn't have the most value for a color, she scores zero points for a path that begins and ends with that color. Whoever has the most points wins.

What the community says about Arboretum
Bought this after seing various reviews on the web. So far I have played it three times with a group of three... It gets better every time, it is a challenging game, specially when when drawing/drafting cards in every turn. Trying to build your arboretum and keeping count of the card played by your oponnents it's what I like, since requires a lot of thinking to make the right decision. The art in it is beautiful. Quality too.. It worths the money.
- Cartas enfundadas
A game very simple to play, but mastering it takes time and that may be discouraging for those enjoying games that don't require too much thinking. But, once you manage to connect enough dots, the tension created around each round is worth it. Noteworthy to mention the art in each card and the connection between the theme and the mechanics of the game.

Es un juego de cartas, en el que los jugadores tiene que hacer bósques jugando cartas ortoganlmente en forma creciente o decreciente (por número). El tema está en que al final, sólo puntúas ese bosque si eres quien tiene la carta más alta de ese tipo de árbol. La carta más alta de la baraja es un 8, pero si te quedas con el 8, alguien lo puede anular con el 1 de ese tipo de árbol. Se juega hasta que se acaba el mazo de 80 cartas, y se puntúa. Es sencillo, aunque en mi poca experiencia con el juego, a cuatro, es difícil puntuar.
