Under the Leaves: The Invisibles Have Moved In

Ah gardens… A healthy, and diverse garden is buzzing with life: colorful, full of energy and peaceful, all at once.
 
What happens if you take a break and breathe it all in? You might discover a hidden and unknown world with tiny creatures everywhere: Under the Leaves, under mushrooms, and in puddles.
 
The game’s objective is quite simple: build a beautiful and varied garden. Lay down your tiles to attract bees and hummingbirds and discover little dwellers living under your feet by meeting certain conditions. Whoever has the most bees, hummingbirds and dwellers at the end of the 12 rounds, will win the game.
 
Each round is played in two phases.
 
During phase 1, you pick a tile from the market, grow your grid by adding the tile next to an existing one and if you connect colors by matching terrains, you will create larger areas to attract creatures.
 
Which brings us to phase 2 and the potential arrival of creatures. Create an area of three matching colors to attract bees. Pollinate terrains to get a hummingbird and if your pattern matches any active dweller cards, they will stay with you.
 
The game comes to an end when the tiles run out and the market cannot be restored.
 
Build a garden so nice that bees, hummingbirds, and crawlers squat in it rent-free.

We would like to thank Trevor Benjamin and Brett J. Gilbert, the game designers, as well as Fractal Juegos, the publisher, for allowing us to use their game on the platform. Critters and other creatures would not have a digital place to live if it weren’t for andrelmlins‘ great BGA port.
 
This was your Wednesday release.
No mushroom was harmed in the making of this game, so take care and play fair…

cool concept for a game! hopefully it inspires some people to plant some gardens! planting native plant gardens will absolutely create this experience with pollinators in real life! plant and they come. I've seen it time and time again :)

Someone (NOT ME) wrote a tutorial. I took a look at it. It might be good enough to give you a general idea of how the game is played. If you have a lot of experience with games, you'll be able to fill in the blanks and guess what many of the specific rules are.

I would like to request a confirm move button, maybe one with a 5 second delay like other games.

On the phone, the rotation buttons are very small and are right next to the place tile button. I have hit it several times..

Thank you
