Happy Garden

The beautiful days are coming back, it's time to participate in the gardening contest!

Arrange your garden in the most harmonious way to win the game.

In Happy Garden, players embark on a contest to create the most harmonious garden possible, filled with a multitude of colorful flowers and charming decorations. Each player starts with their small house and a handful of flowers to cultivate their own botanical masterpiece.

Despite its adorable looks, Happy Garden is a ruthless game: create combos, plan your actions, and thwart your competitors' plans. With fine strategy and anticipation, establish yourself as the master of gardening!

How do you play?

Create the most harmonious garden by cleverly arranging flowers and decorations. To do this, each player chooses a tile from the garden center (flowers, garden gnomes, or windmills) and places it in their garden next to another tile. The goal is to validate each tile to score points. To validate a flower, it must be surrounded by a flower of the same color (there are 6 colors), but of a different shape, as well as a flower of the same shape (there are also 6), but of a different color. Garden gnomes are color wildcards (each gnome contains 3 colors) and can be validated if they are surrounded by the 3 corresponding colors. As for the windmills, they are validated when they are aligned in a row or column containing 3 flowers of the same shape.
Of course, all of this would be simple if one could take more than one tile per turn, which is obviously not the case! And to make matters worse, the garden center is not always fully available...
Things get even more complicated when you have to play with butterflies, wheelbarrows, earthworms, and moles to improve your score or reduce that of others!

Ah yes, it is also important to know that you need to be quick to finish your garden, as the number of turns is limited...
