## Description
Grab your gardening gloves and trowel, because Mr. Cabbagehead needs your help to win the annual gardening contest! In Mr. Cabbagehead's Garden, you step into the shoes of our veggie-loving friend who cherishes peace and quiet to cultivate his award-winning produce. The catch? Nosy and rather inconvenient neighbors love to 'peek' and, perhaps, 'borrow' a few things from your garden while you're away.

This game is a quick and strategic puzzle where you assemble your garden on a 6x3 grid of cards. Each round, you select vegetables from an open draft, deciding not only which to plant but also where to place it. Think carefully, as position is key! You'll use bees as a resource to 'pay' for some of the more coveted vegetables, and you'll need to manage them wisely. But beware, your neighbors are always lurking and might disrupt your plans by stealing your precious veggies or interfering in other annoying ways. The 'push your luck' mechanic comes into play as you decide how far to push your planting before the neighbors interfere too much.

The goal is to create the most beautiful and productive garden possible, forming adjacent groups of the same vegetable type to maximize your score. The game shines both in its solo mode, where you try to outsmart the neighbors and create the perfect garden, and in its two-player mode, offering a tight and fast-paced competition. With simple rules but interesting tactical decisions, Mr. Cabbagehead's Garden is a charming little game, perfect for those who enjoy puzzles, planning, and a touch of luck.
