Start for freeWhat to Expect
You run an aquarium with six tanks and place sea creatures while managing limited funds and a single employee. The turn order follows a time track where the player farthest behind moves next. Collect fish, sharks, and coral while managing oxygen limits in tanks and using advertising spaces to gain funds. Scoring is based on milestones, remaining funds, and collected creature sets.
Who Is This Game For?
Aqua Garden is designed for enthusiasts who enjoy puzzle and set-collection mechanics. With a playtime around 60 minutes, it suits players aged 15 and up who appreciate strategic planning and resource management. A solo mode is included, accommodating single players.
How It Works
Players take turns moving on a shared board, with the player farthest behind going next (Turn Order: Time Track). Landing on spaces lets you collect sea creatures (Set Collection) or place seaweed to increase oxygen in tanks. With only one employee, you arrange creatures in adjacent tanks respecting oxygen capacity and placement rules. Managing resources and timing your moves are key to success.
