Description

Everyone knows the most important aspect of gardening—ensuring that your garden is more impressive than your neighbor’s! In this unique word game, you and your opponents draft and stack transparent cards in an attempt to build the ultimate word square garden.

Game Summary

Word Garden is a revolutionary card game that combines uncommon components and mechanisms in a way rarely (if ever!) seen before, taking the word game genre to a whole new level. Players draft and stack transparent cards containing four different plant and letter patterns, ultimately forming three gardens that each contain a 4 x 4 letter grid. Points are scored from words formed within the grid as well as from personal (hidden) and shared goals. The player who finds the best balance wins the game, and earns the title of master gardener!
