Watch “Review of Four Gardens - The Mystical Pagoda Board Game,” a board game review for Four Gardens from Party Tails Games on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Party Tails Games on YouTube:
Compete to build the most pristine garden around the mystical pagoda while playing the board game Four Gardens. Players lay groundwork cards, acquire resources, and use those resources to meet the groundwork card requirements to become landscape. Completing the landscape allows players to finish panoramas. The pagoda tower is as fun as it looks, but the rest of the game’s mechanics left us feeling a little underwhelmed. We’ll give you al of our thoughts with our full video review.
We were sent a copy of Four Gardens from Arcane Wonders so we could do this review video and this unboxing video:

About Four Gardens, from BoardGameGeek:
Long ago, in a beautiful Eastern kingdom, a queen and her people pleased their Gods by building a mystical pagoda. The pagoda housed the four Gods and towered strong over the magnificent kingdom. As time passed, the queen fell ill, and she summoned her people to compete for her crown. The crown would be passed on to the person who could build the most pristine garden around the pagoda. The heir would be chosen by the four Gods themselves.
The goal of Four Gardens is to accumulate the most points on the score board by completing landscape cards and finishing sets. Each finished set creates a panoramic view of a garden, and these sets are called (no surprise) "panoramas".
Players can finish panoramas by first laying groundwork cards, acquiring resources by turning the 3D pagoda, and allocating those resources to satisfy the requirements of each groundwork card. Once satisfied, a groundwork card becomes a landscape card. Multiple landscape cards laid in the correct order create a panorama. Each God has their own satisfaction meter which expresses their goodwill towards the gardens and their builders. Players try to please the Gods by completing landscape cards and finishing panoramas.
