Pergola is a gorgeous, low-stress garden-builder about turning a bare plot into a thriving little ecosystem. Pick a tool, take your plants and critters, and arrange them just so — because in this garden, where you put things matters as much as what you grow. Fifteen rounds later every player's plot looks completely different, and only the cleverest layout takes the win.
