About the Game

Gnome Glade is a cozy puzzle city-builder where you will create a gnome settlement by growing mushrooms and building your deck of cards.

Help the gnomes build their colony in a magical forest. This is a relaxing game where you can build at your own pace. Looking for a challenge? A hard mode is there for you.


How does the gameplay work?

You start with cards. Play a card to grow a mushroom that gives you stars. Stars are the main resource you use to get new cards. You can also merge mushrooms together to create better buildings that give you more stars.

Your main goal is to build the Golden Gnome Statue!
