A quick look at Garden Galaxy, a garden building game.
I’m finding Garden Galaxy torturously difficult to play, in part because it has so few rules. This is a garden designing game at heart. You start with a small patch of tiles and a magical pot. Strangers come by and as you click on them they drop you a coin. You put the coin in the pot and out pops something for the garden. A tree. A patch of earth or grass. Maybe a lantern or a little tent. You place these items you get from the pot all around the place, and occasionally you move the tiles themselves around, until you get an arrangement you like. That’s the game. That’s it.
And it turns out to be wonderful – but torturous. Oh the torture. For me, indecisive, unable to plan, unable to commit to a single approach, I keep getting bogged down in clutter.
