About the game

Enchanted Ivy is a board game from Allplay, designed by Sarah Joshua (2026). It plays solo in 10–20 minutes, for ages 10+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 8.3 out of 10 and call it medium-light (2.0 / 5 weight).

Take on the role of Ivy, the courageous new owner of a magical inn. Build your bewitching B&B to best suit your eccentric guests while cultivating the ivy covering your walls. Each turn, carefully place each card in a grid. Assign guests, noting their preferences (things like "diagonally adjacent", "same row", "surrounded" etc.) to score them at the end of the game. In Story Mode, earn rewards for meeting point goals and completing unique challenges.

  • BUILD YOUR MAGICAL B&B: Step into the role of Ivy, the courageous new owner of a charming, bewitching inn. Your goal is to cultivate the ivy covering your walls and renovate your inn to satisfy the unique, eccentric needs of your magical guests.
  • CLEVER TILE-LAYING PUZZLE: Carefully place each card in a grid to create the perfect layout. You must strategically assign guests to rooms based on their specific placement preferences—such as "diagonally adjacent," "same row," or "surrounded"—to maximize your score at the end of the game.
  • IMMERSIVE STORY MODE: Experience a cozy, rewarding adventure! In Story Mode, you’ll earn special rewards for hitting point goals and completing unique, evolving challenges. It’s a masterfully designed puzzle that is very easy to learn but deeply rewarding to master.
