More about this game
Choose your piece and face off against a computer opponent in this garden-themed board game. Take turns placing clovers or blooms on grids ranging from 2x2 to 6x6. Your goal is to connect a specific number of pieces in a row, column, or diagonal before the computer does. Endless mode increases the grid size and computer difficulty as you win rounds. A match ends when someone completes a winning line or the board fills up in a draw.
Tips
- Always check the required line length for your grid size. A 3x3 grid needs three in a row, while a 5x5 grid requires five.
- Prioritize blocking the computer when it has one piece left to complete a line, especially on larger boards where threats are harder to spot.
- The center tile is the most strategic starting position on odd-sized grids like 3x3 or 5x5, giving you more paths to connect a line.
