Cottage Garden

In the Cottage Garden board game, you step into the exciting world of gardening competition. You'll manage two flower beds filled with various blossoms. Once all the boxes on a bed are planted, you've completed it. Then, you count your points and get a new unplanted bed. You earn points for visible plant pots and planting bells. Players pick different polyomino - shaped flower - bed tiles from a central market grid based on the 'gardener's' position and place them on one of their two personal garden boards. Each board has special garden elements that score points when not covered by plants. These points are tracked on two different paths. Crossing a line on each track gets you bonus tokens that can fill empty spaces or let you choose better flower - bed tiles. When a garden is done, you get a new one. After the gardener finishes her fifth lap around the market, it's the final round. The player with the most points from completed gardens wins the game.

How to play: First, start with two empty personal garden boards. Keep an eye on the 'gardener' and pick polyomino tiles of flower beds from the central market grid according to the gardener's location. Place these tiles on your garden boards. Try to complete your garden beds by filling all the unplanted boxes. Once a bed is complete, count your points from visible plant pots and planting bells and get a new unplanted bed. Remember to score the garden elements on the board on the two different tracks. Crossing a line on the tracks will give you bonus tokens. These tokens can be used to fill empty spaces or to have a better selection of tiles. After the gardener finishes five laps around the market, the last round begins. The one with the most points from completed gardens at the end wins. Attention: Don't forget to check the position of the 'gardener' before picking tiles. Also, make sure to score the garden elements correctly on the tracks. Maintenance: Since it's a board game, keep it in a dry place to avoid damage to the tiles and boards. When not in use, store all the components in the game box properly.
