In Garden Geckos, players delve into a lush garden world where colourful geckos hustle to capture bugs and achieve objectives. Each player commands a team of geckos, navigating a dynamically evolving garden made of hex tiles, forming patterns and bug chains to score victory points.
The game blends tactical tile placement with the excitement of collecting bug meeples, strategically achieving secret and communal objectives along the way. As the garden grows and geckos scamper, players must balance resource management and strategic foresight to emerge as the master of this charming, bug-filled realm.
Plays 1-6, Ages 14+, 20-45 minute play time based on player count

Hello everyone! Thank you to those who have posted pictures of their game already. The feedback has been reallypositive!
North America
This is to let you know that the North American inventory is expected to arrive by the end of this week. From there, the containers will be broken up and shipped out.
Canada postal strike
The Canadian postal service is on strike, which will cause a delay. As soon as this is resolved we will be able to provide revised timelines.
Undelivered orders
Please keep an eye out for emails from [email protected]. In some cases, there has been a delivery issue, and a notice is left for local pick-up. An email will come from ChinaDivison letting you know. In these cases, I have also been forwarding the emails (this has mainly been Europe so far).

Hello, everyone; this is just a quick update. All games have been packed and are shipping out from our Chinese fulfillment house on Monday.
Most games will be delivered by the end of the year (6 months early). I will contact those of you in Korea, Brazil, Chili, Turkey, and Taiwan as I need some additional information. A few others need updates in their shipping information as well.
Here is a quick video on something else we have been working on that you can print to go with your game:
Thanks again for your support!

Addresses Locking in 48 Hours!
about 2 months ago
– Wed, Oct 02, 2024 at 01:17:41 PM
Good afternoon, everyone. We are locking addresses in the next 48 hours. Our distributor will begin compiling the pledges next week, and this is now the point of no return. If you update your address, please DM me to ensure that I log it on my end.
Next, there are still 41 backers who still need to update their credit card info (so your payment has not gone through), or you still need to update your address (so we know where to ship it). If your details are not updated in the next 48 hours, your game will not ship this year. :(
You can check your address and payment status at garden-geckos.backerkit.com
Lastly, did you know I host a weekly podcast called Board Game Binge? We are 314 episodes in. You can find Board Game Binge by searching wherever you download your favourite podcasts.
This past week I had Nika Mlinarič Hribar from Snow Board Games on the show and talked about her current campaign for Secret Recipe (which I also have personally backed).
Garden Geckos shipping is being arranged; Please double check your pledge manager

Good afternoon, everyone! All Garden Geckos campaign components are complete, and the final component, the plushie, is on its way to our Chinese distribution centre.
Please double-check your pledge in the pledge manager. There are still 44 backers who have either not entered their address information or have not entered a valid credit card for shipping.
If you do not update these immediately, you are unlikely to get your game this calendar year. I'm not trying to be difficult; it's just GO TIME.
My next update will be when the games are on the water, en route to various destinations.
Here is the pledge manager link to check your pledge status:
