Read the full game description
Garden Rush turns its unfolding box into two gardens separated by a shared hedge. On each turn, a player chooses one of five vegetable tokens and decides whether to plant its double side in the matching column or its single side elsewhere. Completed beds score through vegetable-specific patterns, while tool spaces unlock useful bonuses or nuisances for the opposing gardener. The result is a quick two-player drafting and spatial-planning race with a cheerful presentation and surprisingly sharp timing decisions.
