Ishtar: Gardens of Babylon

Will you be the best gardener in Babylon?

Ishtar, the mighty Goddess, has heard your cry! Fountains have arisen in the middle of the desert! Now, your task is to create a magnificent garden. Choose the layout of your garden, gather resources, and control the fountains to surpass your opponents. The great title of Royal Gardener will reward the most visionary player... or the most opportunistic!

To accomplish your mission, you will have to plant flowers, which, if you place them well, can help you gather precious gems and activate actions. Whether to buy Trees (which will block the link between two Flower spots, as well as earning you points) or to purchase upgrades (such as getting two more points per Tree card at the end of the game), collecting gems will be a crucial part of the game. Get them before your opponents, recruit apprentices, send them to earn points in the copses of flowers you have created, block others and think carefully of the upgrades to purchase if you want to become the best gardener at the end of the game!
