Abandon All Artichokes

About this board game

Abandon All Artichokes is a card game for 2–4 players that plays in about 20 minutes. A bumper crop of prickly artichokes has overtaken your garden patch, and your goal is to abandon them all.

To do that, you must prune your deck by harvesting fresh vegetables. Each vegetable brings a special power that can help you manage the cards in front of you and work toward a winning hand.

The vegetable powers let you make impactful choices during play. Depending on the card, you may be able to:

• Swap cards to change what you are holding.
• Discard cards to clear unwanted produce.
• Compost cards as you shape a better deck.

Every decision helps you deal with the overgrown artichoke problem. Harvesting fresh vegetables gives you new ways to manage your cards, while luck and strategy both play a part in finding the route to victory.

With its garden theme and focus on card management, Abandon All Artichokes offers a compact challenge for players who enjoy making choices with special card powers. You will need luck, strategy, and a green thumb as you work to grow a winning hand.

Released in 2020, this approachable game turns an unruly patch of produce into a race to improve your cards. Can you harvest the right vegetables, use their effects wisely, and finally leave the artichokes behind?
