An interesting looking strategy game is on the horizon from Bombyx. In Garden Nation, players will lead their faction of wee folk as they aim to build and control a miniature garden town. The game is for two to four players, ages 10+, plays in around 60 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $59.99 when it arrives this summer.
About the game:
Decide who will suffer the consequences! The little people exiled from the forest have found shelter in an abandoned garden to build a new town. In the space of a few weeks, wooden crates are transformed into apartments, the old transistor radio into a cabaret, the coffee pot into a belfry… But very quickly, each clan wants to seize control of the town by any means possible: completing official projects, taking control of territories, performing secret missions, and even the invasion of opponent buildings.
In Garden Nation, the four clans wish to build a city on the seven territories of the garden, but each is trying to gain the upper hand.
In the game, you construct buildings by rearranging coffee pots or bird feeders to complete official projects and secret missions. Each new floor costs more and more inhabitants. However, once the goal is reached, the colors of these people float there, thus validating these common projects. The other leaders might not let this stand, however, and will invade the buildings of opponents to try to take them back. To impose your choices on others, you must master the art of this war, deciding who will play after you and where they will have to go.
Your main actions during play are to build or abandon a building; validate a common project; and move the “Torgrue”, then choose the next player. Over the course of play, the 3D city progressively grows on the board, with the location of your action determining where the next action will be carried out, and with you deciding who will act.
