## Description
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and create the most zen and stylish Japanese garden of the season in Miyabi! The idea here is to be elegant, graceful, and super refined, as tradition dictates. You'll need master planning and a keen eye to tend to your little corner of paradise. The gameplay is all about strategically placing stones, bushes, trees, ponds, and even pagodas. The trick is that you do this in multiple layers, as if you were building your garden in 3D. Whoever manages to fit everything perfectly, covering the right areas and forming the most beautiful patterns, will earn the title of best garden designer. It's a game that challenges you to think about your actions and those of others, as you'll be selecting tiles from an open draft. Miyabi is one of those games that leaves you thinking 'ah, if only I had placed it there...', but in a good way, you know? It's pure abstract strategy with a puzzle twist, perfect for those who enjoy thinking and planning. And for those who think they've already mastered the art, there are five expansions to add that extra spice and test your skills anew. It's a game that impresses with its simple rules and the depth of its decisions. A true work of art in game form!
