What it is about

They poured concrete over your kingdom. Now it's time to take it back. Once Green is a tense solo RPG where you play as grass slowly, persistently reclaiming territory from the urban sprawl. Armed with just a standard deck of cards and a single die, you'll fight through 10 sidewalk slabs while humans strike back with weed killer, steel blades, and trampling feet. Every turn is a nail-biter: Draw a card to see how the humans retaliate, then roll to see how much you can grow. Hit 3 cracks and claim that slab—but lose all your progress to the wrong card and you're starting over. Features: 15-25 minute sessions perfect for quick tactical breaks Clever "Creeping Grass" ability lets you fight back against bad luck Play directly on the rules sheet —the illustrated sidewalk IS your game board Perfectly balanced difficulty —challenging but achievable, with just enough hope to keep you coming back Zero setup —just cards, die, and determination Can you crack through all 10 slabs before they drive you underground? The concrete was once yours. Make it yours again. Standard deck + 1d6 required
