The sun shines brightly on the canopy of the forest, and the trees use this wonderful energy to grow and develop their beautiful foliage. Sow your crops wisely and the shadows of your growing trees could slow your opponents down, but don't forget that the sun revolves around the forest. Welcome to the world of Photosynthesis, the green strategy board game!

Photosynthesis
We collect all the questions you players have asked us and put them on this page so we can share the answers with everyone.
Trees that are in the shadow of other trees do not collect light points during that turn.
You can only plant a seedling on an available space that is adjacent to one of your existing trees or seedlings.
You score points by completing the life cycle of your trees and harvesting them for points in the center of the board. The closer to the center, the more points you earn.
Light points are the game's primary currency, used to purchase new seeds, grow trees, and harvest them. They're essential for progressing your forest.
