Bonsai: Vigorous Growth and Specialists includes two optional modules that can be added to Bonsai and used either individually or together.

The 'Vigorous Growth' module consists of three triple tiles with symbols "3", "4", or "5" printed on the back. With this module, players can accelerate the development of their bonsai tree by acquiring new special tiles.

At the beginning of your turn, you may discard as many cards as indicated on one of the triple tiles still available in order to obtain that tile. Turn the tile over and place it in your bonsai immediately, making sure that at least one of the four wooden sides of the tile touches a bonsai wood tile, then take the rest of your turn as usual.

The cards you discard must all be of different types. The types of cards are Growth, Tool, Helper, Master, and Parchment. You may discard cards from your play area and your deck. Discarded cards are removed from play and no longer provide their effects or any victory points at game end. Each player may obtain only one triple tile per game. Once obtained, a triple tile is no longer available.

The 'Specialists' module consists of a game board and four declaration tokens. With this module, players can proclaim themselves cultivation specialists...but will they actually be able to prove it?

At the beginning of your turn and only once per game, you can declare that you will be the player with the most tiles of a certain type in your bonsai at game's end.

To do this, choose a type of tile (wood, leaf, flower, or fruit) and a space not occupied by any tokens on the specialists' board. Stack a number of tiles of your chosen type from your personal supply on that space equal to the number shown on that space, then place your declaration token on top of the stack so that the type of the tiles beneath it remains visible. Once placed, a declaration token (and the tiles under it) cannot be moved or used. You may choose a type of tile that has already been previously chosen by another player.

Note: This module is not compatible with solo mode.

The Japanese term "bonsai" means "planted in a pot".

A bonsai is a living work of art, a perfect miniature plant, identical in all respects to its full-size simile, but several times smaller.

In Bonsai, players take on the role of expert bonsai masters intent on growing their own bonsai.
Whoever grows the best plant will be appointed to show their Bonsai at the Imperial gardens.

On your turn, choose and perform one of these two actions: meditate or cultivate.
If you meditate, choose one of the face up cards on the board and take it, along with any Bonsai tiles represented below the card you draw.
If you cultivate, you can place in your Bonsai the tiles which are in your personal supply. You can place as many tiles as the total symbols depicted on your Seishi tile and any or all of your Growth cards. Each symbol will let you place one tile of the corresponding type.

During the turn in which your bonsai matches or exceeds the requirements of a Goal tile that is still in the middle of the table (i.e., the Goal tile has not been claimed yet by any player), you must immediately choose whether you want to claim that tile or if you want to renounce it in order to try to achieve a harder Goal tile.

When the last card from the deck is revealed, the game end is triggered. Each tile in your bonsai is worth a certain number of points.

In the solo game you can try the Additional Scenarios that change some rules and goals, and eventually try to beat the Emperor Challenge.
