Miyabi

Miyabi is a beautiful and relaxing tile-laying game where you compete to design the most stunning Japanese garden. The components are high quality, with beautiful artwork and sturdy pieces. I especially love the different tile shapes, which add a fun puzzle element to the game.

The game itself is easy to learn, but with plenty of depth for strategic players. I found myself carefully considering my tile placements, trying to balance aesthetics with scoring opportunities. The included expansions add even more replayability, with different challenges and scoring options.

I've played Miyabi with both family and friends, and everyone has enjoyed it. It's a great game for a casual evening or a more competitive game night. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, yet strategic, tile-laying game.

The only downside I can think of is that the player boards are just cardstock, which feels a little cheap compared to the rest of the components. However, this is a minor quibble, and doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

Overall, I'm very happy with Miyabi. It's a well-designed, beautiful, and fun game that I highly recommend. I can see myself playing this game for many years to come!
