Game Overview at the UKGE 2022 - Haunticulture

About Haunticulture, from BoardGameGeek:

Creepstone Manor is empty again. The house is secure, so it's time to sort out the gardens. But, handling a spade is tricky when your hand keeps passing straight through it! Help is on hand. The resurrected gardeners from the Manor's heyday have returned to lend their rotted expertise to you. Use your crew of Zombies, Skeletons and Ghouls to grab plants and ornaments for your part of the garden; hire new crew members such as werewolves and vampires to boost your work and get those extra flowers planted before the night is over. But beware! Only those ghosts who show the greatest aesthetic eye will be the best undead Haunticulturist. In Haunticulture, players compete to make the best garden for the haunted house. Players bid for plant and ornament tiles using the monster cards they have in hand. Players also can earn gold in the game, either through clearing 'junk' from their player board or various monster abilities, and hire use it to 'special monsters' that have enhanced skills and abilities or build any ornament tiles earned during bidding. Do you fill up on gnomes to get the highest score, or shoot for the all-or-nothing fountain? After bidding, each player will place any plant tokens onto their personal flower bed (even the bad ones that score negative points!). How these are placed will affect the players' scores at the end of the game. How each plant will score can be varied by the players, changing the challenge from game to game. Finally, players can earn points for a secret objective card selected at the beginning of the game. These feature a way to score that is unique to that player, and can be the difference between winning and losing. The game ends after four rounds, at which point each player tallies up their score for plants, ornaments and secret objectives with the highest score being crowned Head Haunticulturist! Haunticulture also includes rules for solo play. -description from designer
