Encantados

Ever thought about being the most envied gardener in the mystical world? In Encantados, that's your mission! You need to turn your garden into a sanctuary for the most curious creatures of fantasy. We're talking about Fairies, Gnomes, Goblins, Kobolds, Leprechauns, and even Mandrakes. But don't think it's just about planting and relaxing; each race brings a special ability that can be your salvation or your opponent's nightmare. The game flows in dynamic rounds where you draw cards and try to assemble trios of creatures of the same species to place them in your garden. Once established, these creatures provide passive bonuses that can shift the tide of the match.

The dynamics are simple, but the interaction is intense. Besides building your sets, you can use 'Songs' to manipulate the game and, of course, apply that classic 'Take That' move to mess with your friends' strategies. Tension rises as hands empty, because the round ends as soon as someone runs out of cards. If you manage to reach 100 points by the end of a round, victory is yours!

It's the perfect filler: fast, visually polished, and highly replayable. It's the kind of game you pull off the shelf to fill the time between larger games or to introduce board games to newcomers. It's worth mentioning that Encantados is an evolution of Plato 3000, bringing more races, support for more players, and improved cards. If you enjoy light card games that don't shy away from a bit of mischief and set-collection strategy, this magical garden is the place for you. Prepare your cards, plan your sets, and try not to lose your cool when your friends decide to mess up your garden!
