About the game

What is The Hanging Gardens

In The Hanging Gardens, players compete to build the most beautiful garden for King Nebuchadnezzar II.

Players act as gardeners for King Nebuchadnezzar II, building a beautiful hanging garden to please Queen Amytis. Players strategically select and place Garden cards, aiming to earn the most victory points by fulfilling objectives, arranging features, and optimizing card placement.

The game is played over 4 rounds, with each round consisting of players using their 3 Gardeners to select and place 3 Garden cards. Turns proceed clockwise. The key strategy is to plan card placement to maximize connected groups, fulfill objectives, and optimize bonuses while managing resources like tools and gold coins.

After 4 rounds, the player with the most points wins. Ties are broken by tools and coins; tied players share victory if still tied.
