Four Gardens

Four Gardens is a delightful game that's perfect for a casual game night. The theme is charming, with the beautifully designed pagoda and gardens really drawing you in. While it's marketed as a light game, I was pleasantly surprised by how much strategy is involved. The tower rotation adds a layer of unpredictability, which I actually enjoyed. It makes planning ahead a bit of a gamble, keeping things exciting.

The game is reminiscent of Kanagawa, but with a slightly different feel. I found the resource management and panorama building quite engaging. It's definitely a gateway game that can easily be enjoyed by beginners. Plus, the box has a fantastic insert for organizing everything neatly. If you're looking for a fun, visually appealing game with a touch of strategy and a generous amount of luck, Four Gardens is a great choice. It's well-designed, aesthetically pleasing, and a lot of fun, making it a steal for the price!
