## What is Cottage Garden?

COTTAGE GARDEN - a colorful sea of flowers, framed by walls, paths, and hedges. As ambitious gardeners, you face the challenge of filling the beds in every corner of your garden with plants, inspired by the limitations of space to create ever new compositions. You will use a variety of plants — as well as flowerpots and garden cloches — to design gardens that bloom with diversity. Be kind to the helpful cats!

Goal of the Game - In Cottage Garden, you compete in the art of gardening. Plant two Flowerbeds with different flowers. Score each Flowerbed when there are no more free spaces visible on it, then exchange it for a new, unplanted one. You receive points for all visible Flower Pots and Garden Cloches on the completed Flowerbed, and you may also receive Flower Pots and Cats that will help you with your gardening.
The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.

### 2/5 — AI cheats!

*2023-08-15*

When I play against the medium level AI (Spike), I rarely win.  I started to notice that Spike’s score is periodically added up incorrectly.  This results in Spike getting more points than he should have.  Spike is cheating!

### 3/5 — Good game. When it works

*2022-10-30*

I really enjoy playing this, but it freezes up so often I have to stop. It’s frustrating because it’s such a great game. But it happens about every third game - usually when I’m about to beat the ai - and I am just done.

### 3/5 — 調べました。

*2022-10-02*

こちらのアプリのチュートリアルがわかりにくかったのと、進まないと思っていら、次のチュートリアルから始めるとチュートリアルが進みました。
あとは、チュートリアルだけでなくネット検索したところ、こちらのアプリの元々のボードゲーム版でなんとなくルールを知りました。
若干ルールが独特な感じがしました。

### 1/5 — Kompliziert

*2021-08-29*

Total kompliziert und unübersichtlich, nicht zu empfehlen

### 1/5 — A complete waste of money!

*2020-12-24*

Bought this yesterday and can’t even complete a game, it freezes on the 3rd or 4th turn. The Developers have obviously abandoned the game but are still making money. Why does Apple let this game remain?  This is essentially a scam!

### 4/5 — Great game

*2020-08-27*

Is the physical board game available in the uk. Only seen it on Amazon in Dutch/english or German/English (can’t remember) 

Love the concept, takes a while to work out game play

Occasionally keeps freezing during game

Does the app support Apple Pencil?

### 1/5 — Never got it to work

*2019-12-06*

Parental controls make it unusable on a phone. Don't buy it.

### 4/5 — Player is not authenticated

*2019-11-23*

I cannot use the ranked games or set up my profile. Why?

### 4/5 — Тетрис модернизированный с элементами стратегии

*2018-10-31*

Локальная версия игры отличная. Для рейтинговой игры нужны о авторизоваться через Game Center (для айфонов). В новой версии iOS это можно найти через Настройки

### 5/5 — 5 verdiente Sterne

*2018-09-13*

Nachdem das Darstellungsproblem auf dem iPhone X behoben wurde, bekommt diese Brettspielumsetzung wieder 5 Sterne von mir. Tolles Spiel!
