Quotes (from this video)
- hi graduates it's stella from meeple university and this is stella's short and sweet preview for gun bell from 25th century games
- The game plays two to four players with mechanics such as style placement drafting and rondo the game is soft light to medium complexity
- The game continues till 4 stacks of seedling tiles are empty and the player with the most points would have the most beautiful garden is awarded with master gardener title and wins
- So whether you are a green thumb or not you can grow gorgeous flowers the art looks as beautiful as the real ones in the game it's like tending your own garden drafting your own tones choosing the plants and solving your own puzzle to help you more in the game
