The game artfully grafts a gardening theme to the tile-laying mechanic with its simple concept and intense strategy. Feel the tension as your branches line up (or not!) and you compete to make the most fruitful tree in the garden. Three easy steps to play: Pick up and place tiles Buy and grow fruit Compete to achieve Garden Goals Endless possibilities: Every tree is unique in every game Variable setup dramatically changes strategy in each playthrough Quick game time: Consistently rapid games regardless of player count Options for everyone: Challenging solo player mode Simple beginner variants for new players —description from the publisher
