Board Game Arena

In Pergola, you are a cheerful gardener and take on the challenge of designing the perfect place to set up a garden to grow plants and attract charming animals and insects. Pergola’s relaxing gameplay provides the perfect setting to unwind and find joy in your garden.
 
The game’s mechanisms of this Euro-style game offer a balance between action drafting, tile placement and set collection.
 
Select specific gardening tools to “grow” elements from the supply and place them in your garden. Once the tools are placed, perform the action associated with them: moving insects, a water drop, or a frog… Once your turn is complete, refill the action board and add the used tool to your personal tool pot.
 
The game ends when all players have collected 15 tools in their pots, aka played 15 turns, leading to a final scoring phase.
 
Colorful and flowing with positive energy, PERGOLA allows you to showcase your gardening skills. Follow the tutorial or put your gloves on and click the link below:

Let’s thank Michał Gołąb Gołębiowski and Przemek Wojtkowiak, game designers, as well as Rebel Studio for having the game on the platform. And let’s not forget Sir Heo, for rolling up his sleeves for the excellent BGA adaptation.
 
That's your Wednesday release,
Until next time, may the best gardener win, and as always... Take care and play fair!

This is such a gorgeous and at the same time, enjoyable game. Glad to have it here.

I wrote a tutorial for this game two months ago! https://boardgamearena.com/tutorial?gam ... orial=1974

Awesome news!

Another game with no rules summary. Can it be part of the leaving beta that someone who has played the game needs to add the rules please?

How do you know how to play almost every game?

There is no rules summary and no tutorial accessible from the game page (Nekonyancer's tutorial is still in Alpha). Please can these things be taken care of before a game is released from beta? Thank you.

It's not like games come up that I just happen to already know how to play. I specifically learn games that are in Beta so I can write tutorials for them. So... Maybe 2 or 3 new games a week. Some of them are simple, so it's not the massive time-sink you might be imagining.

Nice Maybe we can have meadow on here aswell now.

Pergola has easily become my favorite game by far.
