Samurai Gardener is fun and fast. Those looking for a quick game that might create a bit of shouting could love it.

Samurai Gardener is an excellent game. It should take you less than 30 minutes, and when you are done (win or lose) you'll have created something beautiful. Hard to complain about that! I suggest you check it out as soon as you can.

Samurai Gardener is a delightfully simple card game that has been a great starter at my library game nights especially for older players who are coming in with very little board game experience but quite a bit of experience with traditional card games.

Samurai Gardner is a fun, fast-playing matching game that has more strategic depth than Kingdomino. The straightforward, score-as-you-go mechanism adds just the right amount of tension, forcing players who are behind to burn more brain calories to catch up.

Definitely worth checking out.

At under $20, Samurai Gardener is one of (if not the) best game values put forth by Hisashi Hayashi to date.
