Players must try to keep their fronds together in WizKid’s new game Palm Trees, releasing in June. In Palm Trees, players try to hold together the fronds of a tree, hoping to have the best tree at the end of the game. The fronds are represented by cards that the players hold in their hands. But, each frond card has a special rule that must be followed in order to hold the card, such as “thumb and pinky only” or “can’t touch other cards.”

A team play variant is also included, in which one team member tries to hold the cards while their partner adds cards to their hand. The first team to complete their palm tree wins.

Palm Trees comes with 78 frond cards and 6 “tattoo sleeves,” patterned to look like tree trunks, for players to wear on their arm. The game was created by Andrew J. Smith, and is intended for 2 to 6 players, ages 10 and up. Playing time is about 20 minutes.
