Hedge Mage is a clever and strategic board game where players take on the role of moderately powered wizards, competing to amass the largest collection of gnomes. Using only two magical abilities, growing shrubs and animating garden gnomes, players must carefully construct hedge mazes while navigating their rivals’ gardens to steal gnomes and protect their own.
 
In this engaging combination of polyomino placement and tactical movement, each player simultaneously builds their hedge maze, strategically placing pieces to block opponents and earn valuable movement points. These points allow your mages to weave through your neighbors’ mazes, awakening gnomes according to the enchantment cards and snatching them before your rivals can.
 
The game unfolds over a series of rounds until all ten hedge cards are revealed or a player collects all gnomes from a rival's board. Scoring rewards for the cleverest placement and the most daring gnome thefts, making every decision crucial. Hedge Mage delivers a playful mix of puzzle-solving, strategy, and competitive interaction, perfect for players who love tactical depth, clever planning, and whimsical garden battles.
