Tree Character: Liquidambar styraciflua (Sweetgum)

Tree Cards

Introduced in the Seedling Stage

Game Use: Tree cards form the bulk of your Legion. During the game, trees are planted in habitats, compete to eliminate weaker trees, and grow into habitat canopies. If you grow two (2) trees into the canopy of a habitat, you capture the habitat. If you capture three (3) habitats, you win the game!

Description: Each of the 50 different Tree cards is modeled upon a real tree species. Each card presents detailed information about the tree species in over 15 categories. At the heart of each tree card is an imaginative caricature inspired by the real tree species. Each character even has his or her own quote to add a little extra zing to each game.

  • Planting Guide to find native trees that will grow in your area
  • Leaf & climate details can assist in identifying trees
  • Reference cards to learn about tree species
