New Kingdom: Gardeners (2024)

Overview

The Master Gardener is coming soon to choose a new Head Gardener for his new kingdom. You and your fellow Gardeners are working hard planting seeds, pruning thorns, and hiring workers to produce the most fruit to earn this honor. Will you be the head gardener in the master's new kingdom?

The objective of New Kingdom: Gardeners is to be the Gardener with the most Fruit in their Garden when the Master Gardener card is drawn from the main draw pile. Players know the Master Gardener is in the bottom 10 cards of the deck but not exactly where. The player with the most fruit wins.

To gather Fruit players play Fruit and Worker cards throughout the game into a tableau called a "Garden" and prune (remove) Thorn cards from their Garden or from others' Gardens for additional points. Building sets or teams of workers furthers the amount of Fruit a player can earn throughout the game. Workers as well as player roles known as "Gardeners" have special abilities that can be activate by components called 'doves' which are placed each turn.

This fast-paced Tableau-building game plays in 30-60 minutes or less.
