Garden Lake

About this board game

Garden Lake is a relaxing and rewarding tile-placement game for 1–4 players, with sessions lasting around 60 minutes. Released in 2025, it invites players to create their own garden lakes using pentomino tiles, water lilies, and koi fish.

Each turn begins with a simple rule: place one tile. However, completing various objectives can earn additional tiles, giving players opportunities to continue their turns and build momentum.

This unusual progression creates a satisfying rhythm of planning and discovery. A carefully chosen placement may help complete an objective, which can provide another tile and open the way to further moves.

• Build a personal garden lake with pentomino tiles
• Include water lilies and koi fish in your growing design
• Complete objectives to earn additional tiles
• Chain moves and strategize your route to victory

Garden Lake combines the calm appeal of creating a beautiful garden setting with the engaging challenge of deciding when and where to place each tile. Players must consider how their current placement may contribute to future objectives and extra turns.

With its blend of thoughtful tile placement, objective completion, and chained moves, Garden Lake offers a strategic experience wrapped in a peaceful theme. Whether played with 1, 2, 3, or 4 players, the central challenge remains the same: shape your garden lake effectively and use every opportunity to advance toward victory.
