Aqua Garden · Japanese edition · (2021)
Your rating:
Kickstarter. The solo mode seems to be a rather easy optimization puzzle which led to me underestimating the game in our first 2 player. Over 3 rounds you move along the fish market track to obtain fish for your aquariums or garner funds through advertising for your existing fish. After each move on the market track your employee moves around the aquarium to place fish and sometimes feed them. You win the game getting points for the fish you have. The tricky thing is how to optimally place them in acquariums to possibly get 1 of four achievements which give points and bonus fish. Advanced fish with special scoring conditions vary the game once we feel confident enough to include them. Not overly complex but enough game for a pleasant game.
