📖 About This Game
Espalier is a simultaneous play, family-friendly experience that turns the tile-placement genre upside-down. The game artfully grafts a gardening theme to the tile-laying mechanic with its simple concept and intense strategy. Feel the tension as your branches line up (or not!) and you compete to make the most fruitful tree in the garden.
Three easy steps to play:
Pick up and place tiles
Buy and grow fruit
Compete to achieve Garden Goals
Endless possibilities:
Every tree is unique in every game
Variable setup dramatically changes strategy in each playthrough
Quick game time:
Consistently rapid games regardless of player count
Options for everyone:
Challenging solo player mode
Simple beginner variants for new players
