For lucky the most beautiful flowers are blooming, tactician rather have a disadvantage: Gardens

When you first unpack it will be slain only by the number of game pieces. Because there is a starting tile, Garden tiles 96, four special-Garden tiles, eight wooden sculptures and 32 flower-platelets. All plates are made of thick cardboard. Point of the game is to be jointly blossom a colorful flower garden. Now therefore thus two to four players together on a potter garden - however, each (r) single his own favorite flower / favorite color and may, despite playing together not lose his own idea into reality.

It takes a while before it has penetrated the game mechanics of "Gardens", especially if you do not, like other reviewers, has played previously before Carcassonne. I personally like the game quite well, the game round (of four people) was also happy with the game experience. The only complaint from me (and is highly subjective): I prefer games where more tactics than luck is needed to win. While in "Gardens" tactical considerations are needed, without the right bit of luck you will however still not exaggerate its Flower type to full bloom.

From me, there are four stars. If you like playing games in which luck accounts for a large share of the gameplay, can boldly access in "Gardens". Tactician as I will certainly in the long term prefer other games.

Overall, however Gardens is for "forest and meadow player", that is for people who like to play per se genre and gameplay-independent, highly recommended. The game has been produced wertig, failed the design appealing.
