Cardening

Hello fellow Garden Gnomes!

Welcome to Cardening!

In this game you must play plant cards and water them to earn money. Once you have played through your deck you progress to the next level - if you have earned enough money! In between levels there is a shop where you can buy more cards to add to your deck.

Master these basics and unlock 4 brand new stages containing more cards and mechanics! (If you are curious, have a look at our devlog!)

We hope that you enjoy playing our game as much as we enjoyed making it! Comments and feedback are very much appreciated.

And now - Happy Cardening!

Controls

You can Move around using W / A / S / D or Arrow keys.

You can Move and Place a Card by dragging and dropping it (click and hold LMB) from your hand onto the playground.

Press Space / RMB or use the Scroll Wheel to Rotate a Card while you are hovering over it or dragging it.

Hover over a card with your mouse for a short duration to display a tooltip with information about that card.

How to play

When the level starts your deck is shuffled and you draw your hand card(s).

You can drag Plant Cards (green border) from your hand and drop them on empty tiles (the areas with dotted outlines). You can water already placed Plant Cards by dragging Water Cards (blue border) onto them. When all water drop icons on a Card are filled, the Card gets harvested and sold for its current value.

Each Plant Card has a base value in form of gold coins. Placing Cards with matching numbers next to each other increases their values. You can rotate cards using the space bar while dragging them to align the numbers in the way you like.

The level ends once you have placed all your Cards. You win the level, if you have earned enough coins. The indicator on the right hand side is showing your progress.

These are the basics that should get you through the first stage! More mechanics are added to the game in later stages. We hope that you can figure them out just by playing and reading the card's tooltips! Please let us know in the comments if anything should be unclear!
