Once Green
A downloadable game
They poured concrete over your kingdom. Now it's time to take it back.
Once Green is a tense solo RPG where you play as grass slowly, persistently reclaiming territory from the urban sprawl. Armed with just a standard deck of cards and a single die, you'll fight through 10 sidewalk slabs while humans strike back with weed killer, steel blades, and trampling feet.
Every turn is a nail-biter: Draw a card to see how the humans retaliate, then roll to see how much you can grow. Hit 3 cracks and claim that slab—but lose all your progress to the wrong card and you're starting over.
Features:
- 15-25 minute sessions perfect for quick tactical breaks
- Clever "Creeping Grass" ability lets you fight back against bad luck
- Play directly on the rules sheet—the illustrated sidewalk IS your game board
- Perfectly balanced difficulty—challenging but achievable, with just enough hope to keep you coming back
- Zero setup—just cards, die, and determination
Can you crack through all 10 slabs before they drive you underground? The concrete was once yours. Make it yours again.
