What would it be like to create your own botanical garden? As an aristocrat in the late 1800s, you have purchased land, hired a gardener, and set out to find the best plants available.

As you know, visitors are very particular about which plants they want to see, so your job is not only to acquire the plants, but also to sort them according to visitors' preferences.

In Botanicus, you compete for the best actions in a unique selection mechanism, and then utilize the opportunities available to you. You must collect new plants, care for them, water them, and keep an eye on the gardener. Last but not least, you must collect money along the way to pay for it all.

Ultimately, it's how many visitors you satisfy and how beautiful your garden is that counts. Will you be able to surpass your competitors' gardens?
