About Stone Garden

In Stone Garden (枯山水, which also translates as "rock garden" or "Japanese rock garden"), players are gardeners attempting to make the most aesthetic garden by placing tiles of sand and moss side by side on their respective garden boards. When meditating by one's garden, virtue points are earned that can be spent on favorite rocks to elevate the garden further. Through famous garden architects from history, special effects affecting the garden can be achieved.
