Space Botanist: The Game

A Risograph printed table-top role playing game by Alice Rogers and Diana H. Chu.

“I like that I only need a pack of playing cards, a pencil, and some quiet time in order to play. It’s a wholesome tonic for my over-stimulated mind. Alice and I even made up our own language (the cipher is on the back cover)… feels like childhood!” — Diana

“Sometimes, you just want to feel like you are home, and home for me is sipping tea with my friends while chatting about plants.” - Alice

Space Botanist is an original game that blends cozy science fiction, the zen of gardening, and the imagined reality of discovering new species as a botanist in space. A simple yet elegant structure allows players to create endless permutations of characters, space crafts, and discoveries—either solo, as a quiet journaling experience, or across a great distance with friends (in person or over a call). This makes a great gift for almost any age.
