HYPE: Solar Gardens is Available Now!
Written by Gary on July 31, 2025
Solar Gardens is available for purchase now at the Darrington Press Gen Con booth #2841, Critical Role shops (US, CA, AU, EU, UK), Darrington Press Guild stores, and other friendly local game stores!
Solar Gardens is an easy-to-learn tile-drafting board game where players lightly strategize to create the most flourishing rooftop gardens by drafting tiles and placing them in their player grid, aiming to build a beautifully high-scoring rooftop garden.
Each tile represents a different element of a rooftop garden, such as solar panels, wind turbines, plant beds, decorative features, and more. To be donned the winner, players must balance aesthetics, energy efficiency, and animal diversity to score points by building solar farms, windmill systems, water filters, and cultural hubs.

your garden will help plant trees
We are thrilled to say Solar Gardens is made of biodegradable, plastic-free materials and uses paper stickers to hold the game box together in transit. And because Solar Gardens is part of The National Forest Foundation’s Sapling Program, a portion of your purchase of this amazing game will be donated to help plant trees in national parks around the United States–a benefit of the National Forestry Foundation.
