The Gardens (GRL-BOT-001)
The Gardens is a card game from Grail Games.
How it plays
The Gardens is inspired by Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden. You're a garden designer drafting cards of flower beds, ponds, native trees and statues to create the most appealing garden path.
Each turn you add one card to one of three rows in your tableau: Waterside, Grass and Cityside. Points come from what visitors see as they stroll through your garden, so careful planning pays off.
