Welcome to Wildcrafters
Wildcrafters is a beautiful, easy-to-learn card game with deep, rewarding puzzles.
From the uniquely-designed cut-out, transparent bottles to the intricately-drawn artwork (coming soon!), Wildcrafters truly transport players into the thematic, beautiful world of wildcrafting where players are competing to become the most reputable apothecary!
To become the most reputable apothecary, you must forage and fill your three empty bottles with various herbs, flowers and berries before the Harvest ends. Each potion bottle has preferred plants. At the end of the game, you gain reputation for every preferred plant in each of your bottles as well as any remaining knowledge tokens and plant materials in your hand. Bonus reputation points are also rewarded to players that were able to create first-of-its-kind potions with an official label to prove it!
The game is played over two seasons: the Spring and the Harvest. In Spring, plants are beginning to bloom, while plants flourish and are plentiful during the Harvest so be sure to have enough plant knowledge and materials to forage and craft when the season changes!
During the game, you take turns to explore the forest for plants to forage by placing plant cards – pattern matching the various types of plants along the way to help them mature so they can be foraged, while gaining the knowledge you’ll need for crafting potions. Use your knowledge to craft plants into potions and strategically slot them into your bottles for those end game points, while building an engine of excess plant materials around your workshop that will come in handy when foraging in future turns. At the end of the Harvest, the player with the most reputation wins!
