Zen Garden
Zen Garden is a board game for 2–4 players. It plays in 30–40 minutes and is meant for ages 8 and up. Ludoya players call it best with 3.
Players act as architects creating a tranquil imperial garden by drafting and placing tiles featuring paths, statues, and flora. On each turn a player takes one available tile, pays its cost, and adds it adjacent to an existing tile in their garden; play continues as the market refills and the starting player rotates. Five interchangeable preference boards set the Emperor’s scoring priorities each game, changing which features and arrangements earn points and guiding player tactics.
