Description

Gartenbau is a game where 2 to 4 players take on the role of gardeners, competing to grow the most well-balanced and mature garden. With easy-to-learn rules, this abstract strategy game is all about placing and laying tiles in a tableau to meet the growing requirements of drafted flower tiles. The game features a unique dual track rondel and three layers of tile laying, making it a beautiful and engaging experience. As you sow seeds and grow a variety of plants, you'll earn prestige points for meeting the complex growing conditions of your flowers. The player with the most prestige at the end of the game, which typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, is crowned The Master Gardener. With its vintage artwork and dedication to the unknown artists of the late 19th century, Gartenbau is a charming game that's perfect for anyone looking for a fun and strategic gaming experience.
