Restore the silent city into a wild space once again! Combine water, sunlight, and earth to grow a vibrant ecosystem atop buildings. Create specific element combinations to attract wildlife to the city revived in green. And cleanse the pollution left behind by humanity.

In this lush tile-laying game, you and up to three friends become the forces of nature, transforming a polluted and abandoned city into a thriving paradise full of wildlife. Each turn, players collect elements from the supply needed to revive plants and bring back animals. However, elements are limited and mixed with pollutants, so not every city will be fully restored.

Unlike other tile-laying games, in Overgrown, players not only choose which tile to take from the drafting pool but also decide how to use it. It is a game that keeps you thinking about strategic choices as the city gradually recovers.
At the end of the game, the player who has created the greenest, most revived city wins.

Watch as the city comes back to life!

Each board is completed with its own unique, beautiful landscape. Every delicate nature tile blends with atmospheric city artwork, making the city your own space. Invite unique wooden wildlife tokens into the restored ruins to create new habitats.

Move your colored aura according to the position of the tile you just placed. Adjusting the placement of your tile can also affect the range of tiles your friends can choose from.

If you have recreated a revealed wildlife pattern, place a wildlife token on the tile in your city that matches the position shown on the corresponding wildlife card.

Sustainable materials

Overgrown It is mainly made of wood and paper products. We have made every effort to reduce the use of plastic during the production process. For example, corrugated cardboard is used in the box, tiles are packaged in paper bags instead of plastic ones, and cards are wrapped in paper instead of shrink wrap.
