The Gardens

2022 · Card Game

The Gardens

Players draft cards that represent flower beds, ponds, native trees, statues and other features to build a personal layout of the Royal Botanic Garden in front of them. The tableau has three rows—waterside, grass, and cityside—and players add one card per turn until their area is complete, scoring based on what their visitors encounter along the walkways. Optional modules introduce landmark tiles with special abilities and extra scoring opportunities, while straightforward card-drafting and tableau placement offer accessible but strategic decisions.
