About the game

What you do in a play session

Day of the Brambles! is a fast-paced card game where one player takes on the role of the Brambles, mutant plants hellbent on overrunning the quiet town of Brambleberry Hill (and eventually the world!). The other players control local heroes — like the Teen, Sheriff, Professor, and Cook — fighting to save the town. Over three in-game days, you’ll fling cards, strategize, and work together. The side with the most points from controlling buildings wins! Will the Brambles consume everything, or will the heroes prevail? It’s a mix of strategy, luck, and lighthearted chaos — perfect for fans of asymmetric showdowns.
