Description
Codex Naturalis invites players to become medieval monks diligently organizing pages of a precious illuminated manuscript. Your goal is to strategically position beautifully illustrated cards, each depicting various plants and fungi, to create the most harmonious and valuable arrangement possible.
Each turn, you'll add cards to your growing codex, carefully considering how their placement interacts with existing cards and completes specific scoring objectives. Finding the right balance between fulfilling personal goals and maximizing shared scoring opportunities is key to achieving monastic mastery. This game is easy to learn and addictive.
