Those looking for a quick game that might create a bit of shouting could love it." - Geeks Under Grace "Samurai Gardener is an excellent game. It should take you less than 30 minutes, and when you are done (win or lose) you'll have created something beautiful. Hard to complain about that! I suggest you check it out as soon as you can." - Geek Girl Authority "Samurai Gardener is a delightfully simple card game that has been a great starter at my library game nights especially for older players who are coming in with very little board game experience but quite a bit of experience with traditional card games." - Board in the Library "Samurai Gardner is a fun, fast-playing matching game that has more strategic depth than Kingdomino. The straightforward, score-as-you-go mechanism adds just the right a of tension, forcing players who are behind to burn more brain calories to catch up." - Board Game Show "Definitely worth checking out." - Dukes of Dice "At under $20, Samurai Gardener is one of (if not the) best game values put forth by Hisashi Hayashi to date." - SAHM Reviews "We give Samurai Gardener a rating of 7 [outof 10] and our seal of approval." - Married with Board Games "...a good family game and is one that everyone can play with relative ease. It's not a difficult game so even the kids can enjoy it. Fans of tile laying games like Kingdomino or Carcassonne should like this one." - Gaming Bits "An interesting combination of speed and strategy." - Gameosity P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Author ---------------- Hisashi Hayashi is a Japanese board and card game designer who started out making games about one of his favourite hobbies: trains.
