Board game. Ishtar, Gardens of Babylon

Ishtar is a board game from award-winning designer Bruno Cathala, in which you play the role of a gardener trying to transform a desolate desert into the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. To fulfill your mission, you will have to plant flowers, collect gems and buy the most powerful upgrades to make your dream come true.

Placing your flowers will be essential, since, if you place them well, they will help you collect precious gems and activate actions. Whether it's to buy trees (which will block the link between two flower points, in addition to earning you points) or to buy upgrades (like getting two more points for each tree card at the end of the game), collecting gems will be a crucial part. of the game. Get them before your opponents, recruit apprentices, send them out to score points in the flower fields you have created, and block your opponents by carefully thinking about the upgrades you need to acquire if you want to become the best gardener at the end of the game.
