A little more peace on your table
House plants are more than decor. They bring a quiet kind of joy, a little serenity, and the small thrill of watching something you care for thrive. Propagation Station takes that exact feeling and turns it into a game. Every card is an original illustration, every round grows your collection a little fuller, and the whole thing plays with the same calm you feel tending your real plants. It is a cozy escape for 2 to 4 people, and there is not a watering can in sight.
How you grow
Each round moves through six simple, color-coded phases. Learn them once and you are playing. Here is the heart of it.
Bid and share
Bid on the plants and equipment you want most. Here is the twist that sets Propagation Station apart: winning a bid means sharing it with an opponent. Every auction becomes a small negotiation between growing your own collection and handing a rival a leg up.
Grow, clip, and propagate
Add growth to your plants, then clip and propagate them into your collection. It is the quiet satisfaction of plant parenting, turned into a game, and it is how your home jungle takes shape.
Protect and optimize
Roll the pest dice and treat what needs treating. Add grow lights and helper plants, arrange your station, and set yourself up for the next round. Every small choice shapes how your collection grows.
Your collection can always grow
Silkscreened wooden versions of all the cardboard tokens, an auction board, 4 privacy screens, and 16 poker-chip bidding pieces. The cozy way to elevate your table. Requires the base game.

A game you will want to leave out
Every single card is an original illustration by Chain Assembly, drawn in a modern, minimalist style on a clean marble aesthetic. This is a game that looks as good as it plays, cozy enough to leave out on the coffee table and beautiful enough that you will want to. The art comes from Nick Ribera, whose illustration work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in Miami, Nashville, and across Tampa Bay. On your shelf or on your table, it earns its spot.
No waiting. Just growing.
No downtime here. Everyone plays their turns all together, so no one sits watching the clock while someone else makes up their mind. It keeps the whole table engaged from the first bid to the last bloom, and it is a big part of why the game keeps flowing at 2 players or at 4. More playing, less waiting.
Easy to learn, endlessly replayable
Simple rules get you playing fast. Color-coded phases and a handy player aid keep things smooth, so a first-timer and a seasoned strategist can sit at the same table and both have a great time. Strategic depth emerges with every turn, and with 80+ plant cards and 24+ equipment cards in the mix, no two games ever grow the same way.

“What excites me the most about Propagation Station is the combination of strategic gameplay and the unique auction mechanic. It sounds like a fresh and engaging experience. The simultaneous play aspect is also a big plus, keeping everyone involved throughout.”
“My friends and I enjoy casual competitive games because such games make it difficult for overly-competitive players to ruin the game.”
“I am excited to dive into the game with my wife! We have been working on our green thumb and this seems like the perfect compliment.”
Build your jungle in full bloom
If you are going to grow a plant empire, you might as well do it properly. The Complete Greenhouse Bundle brings together the base game, the Deluxe Upgrade, Flora Obscura, Unexpected Blooms, and House Plant Hermit, with a solo mode included for 1 to 4 players. Together they cost less than buying each one separately.

“I LOVE plants so I am very excited to have a board game dedicated to that. I can think of several plant-loving friends who would be willing to play with me.”
“Plant themed games have a special place in my heart.”
“Arrived quickly! The plant artwork is super cute, and the game pieces feel like quality. The setup instructions are clear and easy to follow. I've never played an auction game like this before, and it was a blast discovering all the different strategies you can use. The plant theme is fun too. I highly recommended!”
“We've played this beautiful game with 2, 3, and 4 players and everyone enjoyed it immensely; the plant lovers in the group were especially blown away. The art is gorgeous and the quality of the components makes the game feel like it is a more expensive game than what we paid. Although the vibe is cozy, there is real strategy and the silent auctions are fun, where success comes from guessing what the other players will bid on. There is interaction between players, mainly passing along pests, but how “take that” it gets varied by who was at the table. We found it easy to learn and for the only question we had, there is an FAQ on the Board Game Geek page that addressed our question. It's a game that gets better every time we play because you have so many options and the simultaneous play keeps everyone engaged and the game moving. It will make a great gift for both board gamers and plant lovers. We are looking forward to more games by this company.”
