About this game
Tang Garden hands you a quiet corner of imperial China and asks you to build something worth admiring. As an Imperial Garden Designer you draft scenery tiles and lay them out with real spatial care, since sightlines matter: a noble strolling your garden needs to actually see the vistas you have built for them. Every turn is one of two calm actions, but the drafting underneath is sharper than the Zen surface suggests, and everyone is quietly racing for the same beautiful pieces. It rewards patient composition over aggression, plays fast for its depth, and looks stunning laid out on the table. A meditative strategy game with real teeth.
