Full publisher description

In Koi , you build an authentic 3D koi pond, so the challenge is to bring your reservoir to life and make the most of the actions at your disposal to create something truly magnificent. From the creators of Bonsai comes a brand-new, serene, strategic journey through nature. The Japanese term Koi means multicolored carp, known as swimming flowers , considered living jewels, and a symbol of perseverance and virtue. Now you can welcome them into your pond and contemplate them to achieve luck and success! Inspired by the peaceful elegance of Japanese gardens, Koi invites players to build stunning habitats, populate them with koi, and compete for harmony, beauty, and victory points. Each turn unfolds with two core actions: - Meditate: draw cards, earn coins, and acquire koi from the market. - Work: use your Sensei s abilities to shape your pond by placing your tiles. With a highly customizable, multi-layer tile placement system and beautiful 3D elements like bridges and lanterns, no two games are ever the same. Complete dynamic goals, unlock new features, and gaze at your own stunning creation while it comes to life! Includes a robust solo mode for peaceful solitary sessions.
