A QUIET GAME OF CHANGING GROUND

StillwaterThe shifting garden

Three little buds.
Nineteen stepping stones.
Nothing stays in place.

THE GARDEN TABLETurn 1

Lily / you

Maple / guest

A connected trio wins — a line, bend or triangle.

YOUR TURN

Preparing the garden…

Choose a piece. The garden shows where it can go.

Make yourself at home

Changing the guest starts a new game.

TWO LITTLE MOVES

01
Slide a bud.
Move in a straight line as far as possible, until another bud or the edge stops you.
02
Move the ground.
Choose a highlighted empty edge disc. Set it on a dotted spot touching at least two other discs.

A few garden rules

Keep all nineteen discs connected. An eligible empty disc touches at most four other discs. You cannot move the disc just moved by your opponent.

Bring your three buds into one connected group to win. They can form a straight line, a bend or a triangle. A win ends the game immediately.

Click or tap to select and place. Keyboard: Tab between choices, Enter or Space to play. You can select a different piece before moving. Undo returns to the start of your last turn.

Nudges favor nearby friends and show legal moves; they do not guarantee a winning strategy.

Practice finish is a short learning position: find the highlighted route that connects the three lily buds. New garden returns to a full match.
