Koi*

Koi is a serene, strategic tile-laying game from the creators of Bonsai for 1–4 players: everyone builds their own Japanese koi pond from multi-layer tiles and 3D elements such as bridges and lanterns, then fills it with colourful carp.

Each turn you choose between two actions: Meditate – draw cards, earn coins and acquire koi from the market – or Work, using your Sensei's abilities to place pond tiles. Dynamic goals and unlockable features mean no two games are alike. A solo mode is included.
