Mini Garden (2019)

About this game

Master Scabbers is ready to test the ability of his gardening apprentices to create bright and colorful mini-gardens as quickly as possible to satisfy customers' requests. As an apprentice, try your best to win the title of master gardener from this test! On a turn in Mini Garden, a.k.a. 迷你花園, start by rolling the five dice and placing them on the corresponding flower cards. The number on the die and the corresponding flower cards identify the needs of the customer. After this, each player races to place their six garden cards together — flipping, rotating, and covering them as needed — to match the customer's wishes. Whoever does so first stops play so that others can verify whether the garden is correct; if so, the player scores a point. After nine rounds, the game ends, and whoever has scored the most points wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
