About the game

What you do in a play session

Embark on a journey to imperial China and become a legendary garden designer in Tang Garden! Inspired by the golden age of Chinese gardens, this game invites you to create stunning landscapes, balancing the elements of nature to attract nobles and achieve perfect harmony. Each turn, you choose between two actions: expand your garden by placing tiles that match natural elements, unlocking character miniatures and their unique abilities, or collect decoration cards to gain prestige. When placing tiles, you not only shape the landscape but can also install impressive vertical panoramas, adding a unique perspective that interacts with visitors at the end of the game. Interaction with the characters is crucial, as they score based on what they observe in your garden. Tang Garden is a zen-like experience, where visual beauty meets the strategy of set collection and optimizing placement. With accessible rules and visually rich production, the game offers a relaxing yet challenging journey to build the most spectacular garden and achieve victory. Perfect for those seeking a beautiful game with elegant mechanics and a touch of contemplation.
