The game uses an illustrated plan of a garden to form the basis for a number of games, some of which are described on the games board. Using a die players move their pieces around the map using the basic rules of not retracing their steps and following the direction of red arrows when landed on. he designers suggest creating ones own games but some of the suggestions are below.
The Grand Tour: involves trying to visit all the main sights before anyone else and returning to the house.
Race: involves all starting from the Grotto and trying to reach the Orangery before anyone else
Afternoon Tea: 15 turns try and visit as many sights as possible each with their own point scores
Chase: Involves one player getting a head start and the others trying to catch them.
