  1. 6 out of 10

    2019-12-12 : First play. This is the poster child game of why graphic design matters. The most crucial thing impacting a player's enjoyment of a puzzle route-building game like this is being able to scan the building quickly and determine the various routes and possibilities. They missed the mark here - by a mile. Was this ever playtested with people looking at this building upside down or sideways ? It's such a shame because I do like the mechanics of this game. Short : a well-conceived game, totally let down by its graphics and layout.

    Light, fun and beautiful. I love gardening and history. This game ticks my boxes exceptionally well. Also love the game piece quality. Light strategy, relatively fast and enjoyable with fellow gamers green-thumbs or not.

  3. 4 out of 10

    A great strong point of this game is the rulebook. The rulebook is only 4 pages long yet hidden within is an enthralling tactical joust. Easy to learn hard to master was never so true as you try to outmanouvre your opponent. The long version can be, well, long. So far it feels to me as if the short version is the better choice as the long version makes it overstay its welcome. All in all a good tactial puzzle.

King Nebuchadnezzar II has spoken: “Build me the most wondrous gardens the world has ever seen!” The gardening guilds of Babylon have answered, and it is now up to the players, as leaders of these guilds, to build one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and lead their guild to victory in the cutthroat world of competitive gardening.

Gardens of Babylon is a 1-4 player, competitive euro-style game in which players strive to earn the most points by planting flower seeds on the most valuable tiles. Taking turns, players place tiles to create a maze-like ziggurat of pathways, strategically move their gardeners to gain positional advantage, and plant seeds to claim tiles, earning victory points and triggering cascades down connected waterways to steal those of their opponents in the process!

Featuring simple rules and strategic thinking, Gardens of Babylon offers infinite replayability with 78 distinct ziggurat tiles that form a unique 2.5-dimension modular board. A novel cascade mechanism allows a well-placed seed to change the course of the game in an instant, offering emergent gameplay and keeping players on their toes until the very end.
