## Description
Imagine that spring has arrived and the entire town is buzzing with the 'Village Green of the Year' competition. The prestige is immense, and you've just been appointed as the person in charge of turning your village's garden into a masterpiece. The goal? Simple: create the most stunning floral arrangement in the region and, as a bonus, leave those snobs from the neighboring village green with envy!

In Village Green, you take on the role of a rival gardener in a strategic dispute. The dynamics revolve around carefully planning the layout of your space. You'll need to decide where to plant colorful flowers, where to position towering trees, where to install elegant statues, and where to dig relaxing ponds. But it's not just about placing pieces randomly: time is tight and every decision impacts the final score.

The game blends hand management with tile placement on a square grid. You'll have to split your time between acquiring new elements for your garden and nominating your work for various competition awards. Tension arises during the open draft, where you must keep an eye on what others are picking so you don't lose the key piece for your set. With abilities that can be used only once per game, you'll have that 'ace up your sleeve' to turn the tide at the right moment. Will you achieve botanical perfection, or will your garden become the laughingstock of the town? Grab your shovel, choose your seeds, and show everyone that you are the master of gardening!
