A Game Plan - Veggie - 17-02-2021
In an idle moment I tried to imagine my garden drawn as squares on graph paper. A sort of Square Foot/Yard grid covering the entire garden where there were no curved lines, only squares
I've seen all the neat plans where beds are perfect rectangles and that's easy to imagine but, no matter how I imagined it, all I could turn mine into was a Crossword, where black squares were paths and white squares were beds.
What game would you play in yours? Chess/draughts, snakes and ladders, Monopoly..............

I don’t know what I’d play. Probably something like noughts and crosses
RE: A Game Plan - Vinny - 17-02-2021
Battleships and Cruisers at the mo.
Probably Snakes and Ladders in the future!

A jungle would be involved - and a swamp.

Because the greenhousee door sticks sometimes and the wife comes over, probably dungeons and dragons

Sounds like you need Kings and Things
The Wikipedia description is rather dull and dry, but basically you have a board game made of hexagonal tiles with different terrain, e.g. mountain, desert, jungle, and an army of "Things" (fantasy monsters such as dragons and zombies) that you use to try and conquer it (and your fellow players). We used to play it a lot, back when I hung out with a bunch of gamers in the 80s and 90s. Lots of silly fun!

In its previous state, I think my garden would have been Black Morn Manor, a horror board game where intrepid adventurers brave haunted woods and crumbling ruins in search of evil
Currently it's a bit like a half-built Lego set, with some parts all neat and rectangular and other areas just piles of random coloured bricks!

I'm going for the Mousetrap game with the amount of mice I've saw out there last summer.

Hopscotch - I'm always stepping over or around plants.
