More about this game
Inkstone Garden Village is a strategic tile-placement game where you construct a settlement on a 6x6 grid. Your objective is to reach a beauty score of 30 and a comfort score of 32 using exactly 20 placements. Each tile type, such as the House, Tea Stall, Garden, Path, or Pond, adds different amounts to your beauty, comfort, and income meters. The run ends in victory as soon as you meet both the beauty and comfort requirements, or in defeat if you exhaust your 20 placements beforehand.
Tips
- Ponds provide a massive 5 beauty but 0 comfort. Use them early to quickly boost your beauty score without wasting too many of your 20 limited placements.
- Houses are essential for reaching the 32 comfort goal, as each one provides 4 comfort and 1 beauty. Prioritize them when your comfort meter is lagging behind.
- Tea Stalls offer a balanced mix of 2 beauty and 2 comfort, while also adding 4 income to your final total if you want to maximize your score.
Questions
Can I remove or replace a tile?
No, once a tile is placed on the grid, it cannot be removed or replaced. If you try to place a tile on an occupied square, the game will flash a red warning and reject the move.
What does the income stat do?
Income is tracked alongside beauty and comfort, but it is not required to win the game. It simply adds to your final score, with Tea Stalls providing the highest income boost of 4 points per placement.
Why did the game end early?
The game ends in victory the exact moment your totals reach at least 30 beauty and 32 comfort. If you use all 20 placements without hitting both of these targets, the game ends in a loss.
