The definitive edition of the tranquil tile-placement game is here, featuring stunning watercolor illustrations and a clever "pond-sculpting" mechanic for the ultimate zen-like strategy experience.
Koi Garden invites you to act as a landscape architect, carefully designing a serene aquatic sanctuary. In this beautiful game of patterns and wildlife, you’ll place tiles to grow your garden, expanding colorful flower patches and deep water paths. This edition focuses on "harmonious movement," as you’ll navigate your Koi and other creatures across the pond to visit specific features and score points. The challenge lies in balancing the expansion of your garden with the movement of your inhabitants, ensuring your Koi can reach the most bountiful areas of the pond.
Beyond the peaceful theme, this version features a unique "dynamic scoring" system where the wildlife you attract—like frogs, dragonflies, and turtles—each have their own movement rules and scoring conditions. The game is designed to be highly modular, with "Season" cards that change the rules of the garden every time you play. With its breathtaking art style and relaxing pace, it’s a masterclass in elegant design that proves a strategic challenge can be as refreshing as a calm day by the water.
