Malus Hortus

Malus Hortus is a cooperative game, all players win or lose together. Players are a party of Nymphs who have been lured in to this beautiful garden by day, only to find it turns evil at night and does not want you to leave. Do not let the word ‘garden’ fool you, this place is a vast woodland with shifting terrain and it will take many days to find your way to freedom.

The main aim of the game is to work together to ensure every Nymph leaves the board, escaping Malus Hortus. Along the way there are evil Flowers to avoid and Critters to save from the garden.

Magical creatures from many different realms find themselves ensnared by, and lost in Malus Hortus; through Night Cards and Critter Cards you will encounter some of them along your journey, as well as being affected by the enchantments they use to try and flee. Be warned, not all of them are quite as kind natured as your fellow Nymphs, it is not just the Flowers of Malus Hortus that you need fear.
