Photosynthesis
A game of light and shadow.
On the light there is a competition for the best places in the sun.
All trees want to grow and need precious sunlight. But the larger the tree, the larger the shade that prevents the other trees from growing.
The exciting game about light and shadow has begun!
- Age: 8+.
- Players: 2 - 4 players.
- Playing time: approx. 45 - 60 minutes.
- Language: German.

Grow and thrive.
Plant the seeds in the best places in the forest. Seek sunlight and avoid shadowLet the trees grow and collect most points.
Through the sun disk wandering around the game plan, the trees get the necessary light. But make sure that the shade of the other trees does not endanger their own plants.
Beautiful illustrations, a special playing feel and three-dimensional trees make photosynthesis a very special experience for all player groups.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 April 2020Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified PurchaseI was really impressed with the quality of the game and the whole concept. I unknowingly ended up buying the German version because I searched for it again to show my wife and seen the same game had two different prices obviously buying the cheaper version of what I thought was the same game. Luckily enough I downloaded the English instructions from Blue orange website.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2022Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified Purchasefound rules easily online
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2023Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified PurchaseAs others have stated this edition is in German. This should be made much clearer in the description because no one is expecting this when purchasing from amazon.co.uk. English instructions can be found online and since there is no text on any of the game board pieces it is not a big problem so we decided to keep it. It is a really enjoyable game and quite unique.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2020Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified PurchaseGame fantastic. Package and own box a little broken
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2023Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified PurchaseUnless you are fluent in Ze German avoid this purchase.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2022Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified PurchaseNot clear at all that this is the German version, but I’m sure the English instructions will be online somewhere… 🤦🏻♀️
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2020Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified PurchaseLike others have said, did not know i was buying the German version! Fortunately, we already knew how to play this game so not a big deal, but do beware if you don't that all instructions are in german!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gelebte Photosynthese
Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified Purchase"Photosynthese" ist ein einzigartiges und visuell beeindruckendes Brettspiel, das mich von Anfang an begeistert hat. Das Spielprinzip ist innovativ und verleiht dem klassischen Brettspielkonzept eine erfrischende Wendung. Die Spieler übernehmen die Rolle von Bäumen, die um das Sonnenlicht konkurrieren, um zu wachsen und Samen zu produzieren.
Die Spielkomponenten sind hervorragend gestaltet, insbesondere die wunderschönen Baummodelle, die das Spielfeld schmücken. Die dreidimensionalen Bäume verleihen dem Spiel eine beeindruckende visuelle Dimension.
Die Spielmechanik ist einfach zu erlernen, aber dennoch herausfordernd und taktisch. Es erfordert Planung und Strategie, um die besten Standorte für die eigenen Bäume zu wählen, um das Sonnenlicht optimal auszunutzen. Die Interaktion zwischen den Spielern, während sie um begrenzte Ressourcen kämpfen, verleiht dem Spiel eine spannende Dynamik.
Was "Photosynthese" besonders hervorhebt, ist die Lernkomponente. Das Spiel vermittelt auf spielerische Weise ein Verständnis für die ökologische Bedeutung der Photosynthese und des Wettbewerbs um Licht in der Natur.
Insgesamt ist "Photosynthese" ein hervorragendes Brettspiel, das sowohl erfahrene Brettspieler als auch Anfänger anspricht. Es ist nicht nur unterhaltsam, sondern regt auch zum Nachdenken über die Umwelt und den Kreislauf des Lebens an. Ich kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un juego precioso, sencillo y muy divertido
Style Name: Photosynthesis, basic gameVerified PurchaseEs un juego muy bien hecho y bien diseñado. La presentación es una maravilla, pero el modo de juego es muy bueno también. Dentro de que las mecánicas son sencillas y se tarda poco en aprender a jugar, requiere estrategia. Hay que pensar para jugar bien. Yo diría que es un must en una biblioteca de juegos. Ideal para tres jugadores, aunque también funciona bien a dos y a cuatro.
