Create a palace garden and move the nobles into the garden along the paths you make 2-4 Players / 30-45 Mins / Ages 8+ Features: Hand Management, Pattern Building, Tile Placement Description: A tile laying game from the designer of Azul Michael Kiesling Includes two mini expansions Your task in the tile-laying game Sanssouci is to create a flower garden for the world-famous Sanssouci Palace. Competing against up to three other landscape architects, you'll have your own garden layout game board on which you'll build rose gardens and vineyard terraces, labyrinths and fountains - but not just anywhere, mind you. No, the landscapers must meet certain building requirements, and unfortunately you won't always have at hand everything that you might need. In game terms, each player has a personal garden that's divided into rows and columns; each row shows a color, while each column shows one of nine garden elements, such as the wells or a pavilion. Players start with one noble at the top of each column. A shared tile supply board has five rows - with colored spaces matching the colors on each player board - and two columns, which are unlabeled. At the start of the game, ten tiles are placed on this supply board; each tile depicts one of the nine garden elements.
