Product Description
Welcome to Gnome Hollow, a charming garden-building board game filled with mushrooms, flowers, gnomes, and clever choices. Players place garden tiles, complete mushroom rings, move gnomes through the hollow, collect wildflowers, and sell mushrooms at the market to earn treasure.
