Gardens of Babylon Deluxe Ed. (KS exclusive)
King Nebuchadnezzar II has spoken: "Build me the most wondrous gardens the world has ever seen!" The gardening guilds of Babylon have answered, and it is now up to the players, as leaders of these guilds, to build one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and lead their guild to victory in the cutthroat world of competitive gardening.
Gardens of Babylon is a 1-4 player, competitive euro-style game in which players strive to earn the most points by planting flower seeds on the most valuable tiles. Taking turns, players place tiles to create a maze-like ziggurat of pathways, strategically move their gardeners to gain positional advantage, and plant seeds to claim tiles, earning victory points and triggering cascades down connected waterways to steal those of their opponents in the process!
Featuring simple rules and strategic thinking, Gardens of Babylon offers infinite replayability with 78 distinct ziggurat tiles that form a unique 2.5-dimension modular board. A novel cascade mechanism allows a well-placed seed to change the course of the game in an instant, offering emergent gameplay and keeping players on their toes until the very end.
Gardens of Babylon: Deluxe Edition comes with content not found in the retail edition - 48 upgraded custom meeples, 144 upgraded custom seed tokens, 1 collectible coin, and The Assyrain expansion (1 black saboteur meeple, 1 black six sided die, and 36 poison tokens).
Adding a new element to the game, the Assyrian is an agent from a rival empire to the North. Seeking to undermine the glorious jewel of Babylon, he works against all guilds to weaken the wonder of the ancient world. At the end of each turn, a player may have the chance to move this lone agent. Travelling around the Garden the Assyrian may be used to poison ponds - destroying seeds currently planted there and rendering the ponds unplantable for the rest of the game!
The Assyrian can also be added to the solo mode with just a few extra rule
