I playtested this through its whole development process. I love Bonsai, and this is the heir gamers were waiting for.

From the creators of Bonsai comes a brand-new, serene, strategic journey through nature.
The Japanese term “Koi” means multicolored carp, known as “swimming flowers”, considered living jewels, and a symbol of perseverance and virtue. Now you can welcome them into your pond and contemplate them to achieve luck and success!
Inspired by the peaceful elegance of Japanese gardens, Koi invites players to build stunning habitats, populate them with koi, and compete for harmony, beauty, and victory points.
Each turn unfolds with two core actions:
- Meditate: draw cards, earn coins, and acquire koi from the market.
- Work: use your Sensei’s abilities to shape your pond by placing your tiles.
With a highly customizable, multi-layer tile placement system and beautiful 3D elements like bridges and lanterns, no two games are ever the same. Complete dynamic goals, unlock new features, and gaze at your own stunning creation while it comes to life!
Includes a robust solo mode for peaceful solitary sessions.

A selection of reviews rated 8 or higher. BoardGameGeek. BGG ratings are not included in the uplay average.
Good cosy game, but bad cardboard quality of the decorations in the german version.
Way more complicated that it looks at first. A lot of strategic opportunities. Definitely recommend!

There are plenty of games where "you draft tiles from common pool and then build for yourself", largely with animal / landscape theme. This one, however, has a nice little twist on top - you have turns where you DON'T take anything from the common pool and the planning of those turns at the right time is what brings you ahead. The same mechanics that was in Jaipur, Sobek or Splendor Duel. The variability is added in the form of picking 3 out of 10 shared goals for each game. All in all, I'm not too fond of all the Cascadias and Harmonies, but Koi... Koi is my jam. Kudos, dV Giochi!
