Four Gardens

Players compete to build the most valued gardens around a central, rotating pagoda by collecting resources and completing layered landscape cards. On a turn, the pagoda is turned to reveal resource outcomes, which players use to satisfy groundwork cards and convert them into landscape cards. Laying landscape cards in the correct sequence forms panoramas that score points, and each of four gods tracks goodwill toward players based on completed cards and finished sets. The game focuses on hand management, resource allocation, and spatial sequencing as players balance short-term card completion with assembling multi-card panoramas for endgame scoring.
