(Crowdfund Quest) Rosalie: A Rosy Game of Gardening

Rosalie, by Japanese publisher Uchibacoya Games is a heavyweight management game where you look after your own rose garden, with the help of your trusty robots.

During the game you’ll cultivate roses, hybridize new varieties, expand your estate, and then exhibit your finest blooms at prestigious flower shows.

In Rosalie, players are aspiring rose breeders competing to build the most magnificent rose garden and earn renown as the finest nursery grower in town.

Each player begins with a small plot of land and a dream. Over the course of the game, players plant roses, crossbreed new varieties, cultivate their soil, and adorn their gardens with fountains and windmills. New and exotic roses are temperamental — neglect their care, and they will wither. To help tend the garden, players can recruit caretaker robots, powering them with electricity to keep their precious roses alive and thriving.

Workers are at the heart of the operation. When their hands are free, players direct them to carry out essential tasks: planting, breeding, tilling, and decorating. Every decision shapes the garden, gradually transforming a modest patch of earth into a source of pride.

Money is always available — the town is generous with its loans, and players can borrow freely whenever funds run short. But beware: at the end of each year, interest quietly accumulates. Debt begets debt, and what once felt like a lifeline can become a chain that strangles your ambitions. Managing finances wisely is just as important as cultivating beautiful roses.

Balance your budget, breed striking new varieties, and build the most captivating rose garden to claim victory.

Uchibacoya have produced some fantastic games, including Ostia and Sweet Lands, all of which have fantastic production values and components. Rosalie looks like it’ll be no different on this front, with some beautiful art and premium wooden tokens.

The game is for 1-4 players, ages 14+, and usually plays in 2-3 hours.

Rosalie: A Rosy Game of Gardening is currently funding on Kickstarter until Friday 21st August 2026.
