What is Cottage Garden about?
In Cottage Garden, you compete in the art of gardening and are working two beds with a variety of flowers. Whenever no unplanted box is visible on a bed, you have completed it, then you count your points and replace it with a fresh, unplanted bed. The game is designed for 1-4 players, making it perfect for a cozy night in with friends or family.
How to Play
The objective of the game is to fill your garden plots with beautiful flowers and plants, while also completing various missions to earn points.
Each player has their own personal garden board and a set of Tetris-like tiles with different flowers and plants on them. These tiles must be strategically placed onto the garden plots in order to score points. But here’s the catch – you can only place one type of flower or plant in each row or column. This adds an extra layer of strategy to the game as you have to constantly plan ahead and make the most out of every tile.
Who Can Play
Cottage Garden is suitable for players of all ages, making it a great choice for family game nights. The rules are simple enough for children to understand, but the gameplay is engaging enough to keep adults entertained as well. Plus, with a playing time of around 45 minutes, it’s the perfect length for a quick game session.
What Makes It Fun
But what really makes Cottage Garden fun is its theme and design. The vibrant colors and adorable illustrations make you feel like you’re actually tending to your own garden. And let’s not forget about the cute garden cat tokens that add a touch of whimsy to the game. It’s these little details that really make Cottage Garden stand out and keep players coming back for more.
