Short description
Tip clay pots and follow the water through carved stone. 74 gardens, each a puzzle of pours, until every plant blooms.
Description
Tip a clay pot and its water runs along channels carved in a courtyard floor. Full pots let it pass. Pots with room drink it. A wooden rocker turns it, then swings, so the next pour turns the other way. Pour in the wrong order and the water is spent before it reaches the plant that needed it. Pour in the right one and the whole garden blooms.
Seventy-four gardens, from one pot and one plant to deep courtyards that need a plan.
