Koi is an atmospheric and strategic board game where you build your own beautiful 3D koi pond. Your task is to bring life to the pond and make the best use of your actions to create something truly unique. The game comes from the creators of Bonsai and offers a calm and sensory journey through nature.
The word koi is Japanese and means multicolored carp. The fish are often referred to as “swimming flowers” and are seen as living jewels as well as symbols of luck, strength, and perseverance. In Koi, you invite these beautiful fish into your pond to achieve harmony, luck, and victory.
The game is inspired by Japanese gardens and focuses on beauty, balance, and planning. You build layered landscapes, place koi, and compete for points through aesthetics and smart choices.
Each turn, you choose between two actions:
Meditate: Draw cards, earn coins, and buy koi from the market
Work: Use your Sensei's abilities to shape the pond and place pieces
The flexible piece system and the beautiful 3D elements like bridges and lanterns ensure that no game is the same. You can complete changing goals, unlock new possibilities, and watch your pond take shape before you.
