Shared Drafting  Tile Placement  1-4 Players

On each turn, draft two adjacent tiles (one Koi and one Feature) for your Koi Pond.

Surrounding the red flower with red Koi on all sides is worth 12 points, so this is a nice starting pair of tiles to place.

Your pond might look something like this at the end of the game. You will score each Feature along with an extra point for each sold-color Koi.

The scoring track is at the top of the neoprene tile drawing mat and the colored Koi meeples are used to score each player.

Pros

*well-made, hardy components *easy to learn and yet infinitely replayable *includes directions for a Solo game that makes for a good puzzle *great for those who like something tactile

Cons

*not terribly complicated so the hard-core gamer might be less likely to keep this game around *turns can be a bit obvious at times but that rarely lasts for more than a turn or two before myriad good choices appear
