About the game

What is Garden Lake?

Garden Lake offers a relaxing and rewarding experience. Players build their garden lakes with water lilies and koi fish using pentomino tiles. The catch is that on their turn, players always place one tile, but they can earn additional tiles by completing various objectives, which allows them to chain moves and strategize their way to victory. —description from the publisher
