From BoardGameGeek
In Seikatsu, players take turns placing tiles into a shared garden area, with each tile showing a colored flower and colored bird. Players score for groups of birds as they place them, but they score for rows of flowers only at the end of the game and only for the rows of flowers that exist from their perspective, i.e., that are viewable as lines from where they sit at the game board. Seikatsu: A Pet's Life features the same gameplay as Seikatsu, but with players placing tiles that show pets sitting on pillows instead of birds resting on flowers.
Seikatsu has 52 videos from 45 creators: 28 reviews, 10 how-to-play guides, 6 playthroughs, 2 unboxings and 6 other videos. They date from 2016 to March 2025.
To learn the rules, start with "Seikatsu - How To Play" by Watch It Played, which runs 6 min.
For an opinion before you buy, start with "Seikatsu Review - with Tom Vasel" by The Dice Tower. 26 creators have reviewed it. To see it played, watch "Seikatsu - Live Playthrough" by Pieces and Pixels, one of 6 playthroughs.
If you like it, try Tír na nÓg, Tír na nÓg: Blessings & Burdens and Waddle, also by Isaac Shalev, or Sanssouci, which shares several of its mechanics. It appears in convention videos from Gen Con 2017.
