The game is played with 3 to 5 players, with one of them acting as the "Game Master" and the remaining acting as the "Gardeners. The Gardeners must work together to survive 28 in-game days (or less, depending on the Game Master's wishes) growing their plants, fighting off hordes of common garden pests, and even battling weather itself. 

​

The project was designed to be fully printable in a multitude of materials, to better allow for accessibility and a flexible price range. The game includes 106 Cards, 12 Tiles (6 of which function as the board, and 6 of which can be bought in the in-game store), 1 Zine with the rules, and 1 Calendar to track the events of the game.
