During the Edo period, not everything in Japan was flowers and blossoms (of cherry trees).

At that time the Daimyos, powerful landlords, besides starting wars, dealing with bandits and betraying each other, they must visit the Shogun castle in Edo (Tokyo) once a Year and stay there for some time as a sign of respect towards the Shogun. The daimyos were forced to build (paying for everything, of course) a "vacation" house in Edo, too!

So they thought a way to make this burden a tool of power: everyone wanted to build the best, magnificent and beautiful house they could, in order to show their richness and power to the other landlords and also to impress the Shogun!
Obviously daimyos only paied for thei new houses, the hardest job - to build them and make them amazing - was given to you! One of the loyal samurai at the service of one of this landlord...

In Samurai Gardener, the players will be Samurais following their daimyo orders and will compete trying to build the most beautiful house with an astonishing garden.
Cut the bushes, take care of the flowers, expand the pond and make great combinations of paths and tatamis.
You don't want to be the second best!

• Because is a light game, with a short duration, the perfect filler!
• Because in this game you will need both slight of hands (to gain each turn the card you want) and a strategic mind with a 360° vision of the play area, so that you can place your card in the most effective way.
• Because, in this new edition, you will find the new Feature Cards, that will make harder to gain points, making the game more challenging.
• Because here you will pay the game less than its release price (18.95€ MRSP).
• Because with the Fidelity Program, for each purchase made giochistarter allows you to gain/increase a permanent discount linked on your account. 

Your goal is to be the best Samurai Gardener in Edo, being the player with the most Vicory Points at the end of the game.
In order to achieve this you must be quick, you must always think at your next moves and organize the garden the best you can!



Every samurai starts with a random Garden Card in front of him/her.
These cards are divided by a grid (2x3) into 6 spaces, rapresenting 4 different "features": Garden, Pond, Path and Tatami.

At the start of each turn the players draw from the deck as many Garden Cards as their number and place these cards at the centre of the table. They shout "Ei Ei Oh!" and then try to cover with one hand, as quickly as possible, the card wanted.
Now the building phase begin!



The new Garden Card must be now placed so that at least one of the 6 spaces will be adjacent to a space already on the table, or can also partially overlap another card in play, covering one or more spaces of that card.

By doing so the players will expand their gardens more and more, but that's not enough! They must build it beautiful, in order to gain victory points.
So, you must get the cards you want and placed them at your best, in order to build long lines of the same terrein type: big garderns or long tatami will make a really good impression and, more importantly, will grant you many points!



When all the cards are drawn from the deck, or if a player reach 25 victory points, the challange ends and whoever has the most points will wind the game.

And that's not all: this new edition of the game introduces the Features Cards! The job of the samurais will get much more hard!

Retailer shipping cost depends on order size and is shown on the Shipping cost page. You can also pick-up your copy free of charge at our pickup point in Rome.

Games will be shipped from October - November 2017 or as soon the publisher Osprey Games will provide us the games.

Production. A distinction must be made between games that are printed by Giochix directly and those that are printed “indirectly” by another publisher.

In the first case, we have direct control over the entire printing process and we can intervene quickly to adjust for any potential issues where necessary.

In the second case, we may only interact with the publisher that prints the game, without any ability to make immediate changes during the production process.

This means that once the games are printed by us, the shipping date that we have indicated in the project will be a reasonably safe deadline. While we are confident in our abilities to meet the designated timing, unfortunately, delays are always a possibility and this must be taken into account. In the second case, for “indirect” games, the shipping date is purely indicative.

It can happen also that the deliveries suffer a delay for reason out of our control and this should be taken in account.

-> Samurai Gardener is printed by Osprey Games. It is therefore an “indirect” game.

Components. Game specifications and components are to be considered indicative of the final product and may be changed during final production.

Fairs. It is possible for the game's shipment to be scheduled to occur during a time frame close to a larger game fair, such as Essen Fair in Germany or Lucca Comics and Games in Italy. It is important to note that we will be showing/selling the game at these fairs independently of campaign participant shipment status. Attending these fair events is vital to the game's chances for success.

Order Canceling. An order can be canceled/refunded before the end of the campaign by clicking on the specific button in the order page or within 15 days from the order date by sending us an e-mail with the specific request. Besides these options, the order is considered as valid and is not cancelable/refundable.
Orders paid only partially will be awaiting full payment before being processed and shipped.

Shipments. We ship by postal service or by supported courier (UPS, GLS, SDA, etc.)

We reserve the right to separate the contents of an order into different shipments or to merge the contents of different orders in the same shipment to improve the shipment's delivery speed and any required logistics management. If this happens, there will not be any additional costs to you as a customer (nor right to any refund).

Shipments made by courier or by insured postal service can be tracked and are considered insured.

Shipments made by the postal service are not insured and cannot be traced. While rare it is also possible that a package may be lost (0.1-1%). The insurance option for postal services costs an additional 3 euros.

Courier shipments may take about 1-2 days for Italy, 3-6 days for EU/US/Canada and 1-2 weeks for the rest of the world. Postal service shipments require about 1-2 weeks for Italy, 2-7 weeks for EU/US/Canada and 4-8 weeks for the rest of the world. Please note that the postal service in the same case can be slow and may suffer several weeks of additional delay. This happens very rarely but it is still a possibility and is out of our control. If you would like a faster delivery, or wish to avoid any risk of a long delay in the arrival of the package, please use a courier service.

Courier shipment insures against package loss, destruction and package damage. Postal service insurance insures against package loss or destruction. Insurance requires a customer claim to be made when the package is delivered. Ask the postman.

If the game failed to arrive because of your mistake (wrong address, recipient absent, not picking up at courier/postal warehouse, etc.), you will have to pay an additional shipping/warehousing cost for us to re-send/re-deliver your game. This cost will also include the return costs of the game. On the other hand, if the error is ours, we will send it again to you at our expense. If the package is lost or destroyed, we will reship it at our expense only if it was insured.

Important: Please note that we will not reship any game without first having investigated what happened to the first shipment. This can be processeed quickly through the courier service option, but may require an additional 1-5 weeks through the postal service. 
We will no longer accept complaints related to the shipments of items of this campaign (package damaged, lost or missing contents) after 6 months from the date of shipment.

If you live outside of the European Community, custom's taxes may be added. This usually doesn't happen for boardgames; however, please check your country's rules and regulations as this aspect will not be our responsibility. (ver 16GS)
