About the game
Little Bonsai Tycoon is a cozy bonsai game and a calm economy simulator. You run a small bonsai nursery one month at a time. Trees grow branch by branch, gain value with every year of care, and buyers come with offers. The question stays the same, and it is never quite easy: sell now, or let it grow?
Every bonsai grows from its own seed, so no two trees share a shape. Water your saplings, choose their pots and prune them into shape, then pay the rent, keep enough cash on hand and let the rest earn interest in the bank. Prices rise with inflation and the interest rate changes every year. A tree works like a time deposit: the real interest rate tells you when to sell.
Highlights
- Every bonsai grows from its own seed; no two trees share a shape
- Water your saplings, choose their pots and watch them change with the seasons
- Prune the stray shoots and shape the pads: a refined tree is worth more than an unkempt one
- Pay rent, buy shelves, plant saplings and sell to buyers and collectors
- A bank, loans with their own rate, inflation and an interest rate that changes every year
- Grow from a backyard to a market stall, a local nursery and a master's nursery
- Drip irrigation, collectors, apprentices and a yearly exhibition where a jury judges your finest tree
- No timers, no waiting for energy, no rush: a month ends when you decide
- Three save slots for three different nurseries
Who is it for?
A small investing game about time. If you enjoy plant growing games, cozy tycoon games or simple business simulators, your first tree is waiting: six years old and ready to be looked after.
