Cottage Garden
A tight polyomino puzzle about squeezing flowerbeds into every last square.
Who it's for
Puzzle fans who enjoy spatial optimization and don't mind a mostly solitary, low-interaction game.
Not for you if…
You want direct player interaction or conflict — turns are essentially parallel puzzling with little effect on opponents.
Vibe's take
Quiet, cerebral, and a little tense — you're constantly eyeing the market for the one tile shape that finally seals a stubborn corner, while the gardener's position taxes your patience.

About this game
Cottage Garden puts you in charge of two garden plots, filling every empty box with polyomino-shaped flower beds before the season runs out. Pick tiles from a shared market as a wandering gardener figure sets the going rate, then slot them onto your boards without wasting a single square. Finish a garden, score it, and a fresh one waits underneath.
