Description

Welcome to the Garden Competition, where you play a neighbourhood student cultivating a garden in the hopes of winning this year’s gardening competition. Compete against the other players for the favour of your neighbours and for limited flowers at the nursery.

Each player knows some of the flowers and colours the judge is looking for, but no player knows everything the judge is looking for. Try to guess the parts you don’t know by watching the behaviour of the other players. The judge also has some secret criteria that only she knows, which you can learn about by taking her out for a cup of coffee.
