Title: Fun for whole family
Review: I was hesitant on buying this game because it was visually appealing to me. But I wanted a patchwork style game that would play more than 2. So when Amazon day hit and this was on sale in purchased. I’m still not overly fond of how it looks but it is pretty fun to play with added points challenge. The pieces are of good quality and it was easy to learn. My tweens even enjoyed playing. Glad I bought.

Title: Fun and strategic playing.
Review: We bought this for our grand kids and the adults ended up playing it all weekend long instead! We all enjoyed the strategy and challenge of this fun game. We only wish the game board and pieces were bigger.

Title: Patchwork for 3 or 4
Review: This is a good game. If you like Patchwork then this is right up your alley. This is much better than “Cottage Garden” which purported to be a 3-4 player Patchwork answer. I do wish the components were sturdier, they seem downright “cheap”.

Title: Probably won’t be a requested-for game by the kids very often
Review: Basically the kids decide what games we play on family game night, and this was the starting game most recently. The kids (one older than 8, one younger than 8) were able to grasp the concept and goal of the game pretty quickly.The box itself is on the smaller side (yay for having extra space available on the board game shelf) and the box itself is high quality. Unfortunately, we found the board game components significantly lacking in quality. The cloth pouches are nice, but the pieces that go in these pouches are not. They are super flimsy cardboard and I don’t think, with significant play especially with kids, that they will age well.From the parents’ perspective, we didn’t really love the game, either. It’ll stay on the shelf and if it draws neighbor kids in by its artwork, it’ll make its way back to the table. Otherwise, it’ll likely remain shelf decoration if / when we decide to donate it.

Title: Quick and very fun strategy board game
Review: My family and I have really enjoyed playing this board game. It’s an excellent mix of strategy and luck, without being overly complicated. The typical games take about 15-30 minutes depending on how many players there are and their experience levels. The instructions do a pretty good job of explaining the rules and were easy to follow.The gameplay basically consists of a board for each player that represents the Queen’s garden, and tetromino shapes with different symbols that are pulled randomly from blind bags. The players are competing to see who can score the most points by filling up their gardens using specific patterns of symbols (shown on the bottom of each player’s board). The first player of each round chooses which blind bag to pull pieces from and places them in the middle, then they get to choose one of those pieces to add to their board. The key aspects of strategy involve choosing the best shaped pieces for your board layout and the best symbols on the pieces that line up on your board to form patterns for points. The players can also gain single block pieces which can be placed on the board at the end of the game to fill in empty spots. The players can lose points by leaving open spaces in the garden and if they gain a single block piece that cannot be placed at the end of the game.The game is very fun to play and allows for multiple play styles depending on which pieces/symbols you choose to prioritize for the highest scores. A nice aspect of the game boards is that they are double-sided and have different patterns on each side (as shown in the attached photos). Switching sides of the boards will require different strategies since the chess board patterned squares are randomly placed instead of having just the two straight columns in the center.The materials used for the game items are high quality and seem quite durable and should last a very long time. We have been quite pleased with the game overall and highly recommend it.

Title: A Whimsical Journey Down the Garden Path
Review: Alice’s Garden offers a whimsical dive into a vibrant, tile-laying adventure where strategy blooms at every corner. From the get-go, the excitement of drafting tiles and meticulously placing them on your garden board to maximize your victory points is simply captivating. The game’s essence lies in the delightful puzzle it offers, urging players to strategically align their tiles to achieve various scoring objectives.The charming theme, albeit a bit overused, breathes life into the gameplay, making each session feel like a curious journey down a garden path filled with whimsical decisions. The components, particularly the visually appealing tiles, add to the allure, ensuring a visually satisfying experience as your garden comes to life.What stood out were the multiple scoring avenues that kept each game engaging and offered a fresh challenge. Whether it was aligning the quirky mushrooms in columns, placing the chess pieces in the central lane, or meticulously planning the placement of trees to maximize points, every decision felt consequential and rewarding. The additional element of having a lingering tile from round to round adds a layer of foresight and anticipation that keeps everyone on their toes.One minor hiccup was the size of the tiles which felt a tad small, but it’s a small trade-off for the box’s compact size, making it a convenient choice for game nights on the go.Despite a saturated market of polyomino games, Alice’s Garden stands out with its engaging gameplay and charming aesthetic. It’s a game that invites players back to explore new strategies and enjoy the delightful challenge it presents. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a light, yet strategically satisfying game to their collection, ensuring many enjoyable game nights filled with laughter and playful competition.In conclusion, Alice’s Garden is a delightful concoction of strategy, charm, and whimsical fun, deserving a proud 5-star rating for its ability to provide endless entertainment and mental stimulation in a beautifully themed package.
