You've got a lot of potted plants for your new flat and you've got to make sure that they're all properly placed! Your porch has less space than you would like and you need to make sure that all your plants have their needs taken care of, especially the ones you've just planted! But that's never stopped you before. Bring on the green thumb!

My Small Garden is a cooperative puzzle game for 1 or 2 players. Use the best of your ability to remember which seeds you've planted and manage your hand to make sure you can put out the pots and plants you need to! This small card game combines spatial card placement with memory and deductive elements to create a unique challenge each time you play!

This game plays very similar at one or two players; in the two player game players alternate turns playing a card. You can watch the game's overview or how to play videos below or visit our website here to learn more!

This overview video was created with a non-final Print and Play version of the cards.

This How to Play video was created with the Print on Demand version of the game from Drive Thru Cards.

Designed by Adam Stichter.

You will be able to order physical versions of the cards in a tuckbox on Drive Thru Cards (our preferred storefront) or The Game Crafter

And, if you just want to try it out, it's free to play on Tabletop Simulator here!

Minor issue: on the Game Contents card, it lists that there are 15 White Plant Cards and 15 White Seed Cards. Well, there are actually just 14 White Seed Cards in the PnP. It's not a big typo all things considered, but it did make me freak out about misplacing a card for a good couple of hours until I finally cross-referenced each prepared card with the PDF file.

thanks for letting us know! I'll definitely look into it and make some changes so it'll be accurate! ♡

thank you for finding this issue! the PNP is missing one of the cards so I will be working on and re-uploading files here today. I will also be uploading a B/W version of the game if I can manage it, here in the next bit as well. Thanks for noticing that and saying something!

Well if this is the case, then I'm glad I made some noise! I definitely want to experience the game in its entirety as intended by the designer. 

As for a B+W version, I can say that, as someone with only a grayscale/B+W printer, the cards do come through okay in general. This is thanks to the design of the card being minimalistic and words such as "necessary" and "harder" being easily discernible. 

The only place where my printer struggled is printing out the card backs for the seeds. I could tell my printer was straining to print the solid black consistently. I thought I could make up for some of the deficiencies by going at it with a black color pencil, but as you can see on two of the cards at the bottom, it does NOT make the situation better (lol).

Looking forward to printing the new version so that I can have a complete set! Would also like to see improvements for grayscale printing if you can manage it (but don't stress yourself over it if you can't). 

It's definitely my intention to provide this! When I print things at home, I can definitely tell that the printer is struggling with all the color! (it has looked very similar to what you showed). Since I'm sorting through what kind of lower ink style, I'd prefer to hear your thoughts after I release it. Currently thinking of having a band around the edge to remind players what card it is they're playing, similar to the band on the front of the even numbered cards

Original PNP is updated and includes missing card. The files are more b/w leaning, but I'll need to work more to produce a true b/w and ink light version of the PNP. Thanks for catching the error!
