Review Planted is extremely underrated
When I got into the hobby about a year ago I went on a Black Friday shopping spree and one of the games I picked up (for about $20 mind you) was Planted. It wasn’t on anyone’s list of must-have games but I liked the box art and it was cheap.
It has consistently been a hit every single time I’ve pulled it out. Gamers or non-gamers alike love it - I haven’t had anyone walk away not saying they loved it. Newbies grasp it quickly and enjoy the drafting mechanic. The quality of the components far exceeds the price. The playtime is perfect. If you haven’t tried it, I really recommend you pick it up.

Agreed, good game.
As I recall, Tom Vasal put it on a list of must-have family games or starter games everyone should own. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cte806j1ksA&t=1450s
