Garden Dice: The Card Expansion

About this expansion

Garden Dice: The Card Expansion is a card expansion for 2–4 players, designed for games lasting about 60 minutes. Released in 2013, it mixes the Garden Dice base game with new Action and Event cards.

The expansion includes 46 Action cards featuring 23 unique images, along with 8 Event cards. These cards add new effects to the base game while giving players more ways to shape their turns.

• Each player begins the game with a hand of three Action cards.
• A player may play one Action card per turn.
• After the turn ends, the player draws a replacement card.
• Event cards are shuffled into the deck and affect everyone in the game.

Action cards let players perform one special action when played. Because each player holds a hand of cards and replaces a played card at the end of the turn, deciding when to use an available effect becomes a central part of the card expansion.

Event cards work differently. Once an Event card appears, its effect applies to all players until another Event card replaces it. This shared, changing element can alter the conditions facing the entire table as the game progresses.

Garden Dice: The Card Expansion provides a focused way to add card-driven decisions and table-wide events to Garden Dice. With separate Action and Event card functions, the expansion combines individual special actions with effects that remain relevant to everyone.
