Niwashi
You are two new gardeners in charge of maintaining the gardens of Nantoka-Ji. Follow the monk's instructions to complete the objectives. During a game of Niwashi, the two partners work together to build a garden, trying to complete as many objectives as possible.
In turn, and respecting the tranquility of the place, players place a Garden tile or give instructions to their partner using the Lantern, as direct communication is forbidden! Indeed, you cannot speak during the game. It's up to you to convey your objectives through how you place your tiles, your colors, and your lantern.
The tiles are 'triple' dominos filled with 3 plots corresponding to the seasons (plus sand). Place one on your turn, orthogonally, covering at least one or two already existing plots. By doing so, you might form the patterns required by the Objectives!
If you need your partner's help, place the Lantern token in the right place so they understand your needs.
Try to get the best possible score, then move on to the Journey, the challenge part of the game, for the most experienced gardeners!
