Embrace the beauty of nature and culture through art. Together, play ‘Arborama! A Tree Game’, a new, nature-based game and educational tool coming to Austin-area community spaces in 2025!
What is ‘Arborama! A Tree Game’?
Arborama! A Tree Game is a bilingual game showcasing Central Texas native and climate-resilient trees and is recommended for ages 8+ with 2-30 players. This game is designed to educate community members on these trees in a fun, familiar way. While this game models a traditional Mexican board game, that name cannot be referenced due to state rules.
The game was designed by the City of Austin’s Urban Forest Program and funded in part by the Urban Forest Grant to enlist local artist, Claudia Zapata, to design and illustrate.
Who can request a game set?
The initial print production of the educational game set will be made available to community partners both by invite and request. Production is anticipated to continue to meet interest and demand from community partners. Community partners can submit their interest in obtaining a game set by completing this request form.
For individuals, a digital, print-friendly asset for free download to play with their community networks is in development.
