How about creating your own botanical garden? As an aristocrat in the late 19th century, you have bought land, hired a gardener and set out to find the best plants there are.
As you know, the visitors are very picky about the plants they want to see, so your job is not only to acquire the plants, but also to sort them according to the visitors' preferences.
In Botanicus, you compete for the best action-spots in a unique selection mechanism, and then make the most of the options available to you. You have to collect new plants, take care of them, water them and keep an eye on the gardener. Last but not least, you have to collect some money along the way to pay for all this.
In the end, what counts is how many visitors you satisfy and how beautiful your garden is. Will you be able to outdo the gardens of your competitors?

Wie wäre es eigentlich, einen eigenen botanischen Garten anzulegen? Als Artistokrat:in des späten
19. Jahrhunderts hast du Land gekauft, heuerst einen Gärtner an und machst dich auf, die schönsten Pflanzen überhaupt zu finden. Allerdings haben die Besucher ganz spezielle Vorstellungen, welche Pflanzen sie in deinem Garten bewundern wollen. Es reicht also nicht, sie irgendwie einzupflanzen – nein, du musst die Pflanzen dummerweise auch noch so aufstellen, dass die passenden Besucher das sehen, was sie wollen.
In Botancius konkurrierst du über einen neuen Aktions-Mechanismus mit deinen Mitspieler:innen um den besten Ertrag für deinen Garten. Du willst also die richtigen Pflanzen ergattern und diese zum richtigen Zeitpunkt gießen, dich um deinen Gärtner kümmern, und natürlich darfst du auch deine Finanzen nicht vernachlässigen!
Am Ende kommt es darauf an, wie viele der Schaulustigen zufrieden mit ihrem Besuch sind und wie schön euer Garten ist. Schaffst du es, die Gärten deiner Konkurrent*innen zu überschatten?

Chicago 1920 is an immersive game about the American prohibition era in Chicago where criminal gangs ruled they city and were competing to be the most powerful organization in town.

Chicago 1920 is a medium weight euro-game with high interaction rate among players, low aleatory, and a variable phase turn.

During a turn, players will take up to 6 different criminal actions with unique mechanics (allowing them to earn money, recruit men, do illicit smuggling, bribe politicians and more..) in order to increase their power and score points.

Action sequence changes every turn because is player determined and shared step by step. In deciding what action to play, players will need to find their balance between how many actions and how efficient they are to be played.

Victory paths are multiple, partially hidden and interconnected, you are often pushed to adapt your strategy with the game progress.
Replayability rate and learning curve is remarkable and fun because very much player-dependant and with small aleatory variables.

Game's end is not player determined but can be partially predicted by players.
Representing well roaring twenties uncertainty, the game has a special mechanism that gives a small variability in game's end turn when most powerful criminal organization will be set as winner.
