Gnomes Tiny defenders, big nights

This is tower defense where placement is the whole game. On your turn you can rearrange your gnomes freely, wall off lanes, funnel goblins through kill zones and rebuild the moment the map changes. Nothing is locked to fixed build spots, so a bad position is your own doing, and fixing it is half the fun. The map grows every day, which means the maze you were proud of last night might need rethinking tomorrow. It is the old pleasure of drawing a winding path past your defenses, with gnomes doing the drawing. Tough but fair: each wave asks you to actually think.

Your garden does double duty. Crops are the money that keeps your village alive, and plant abilities that make your gnomes stronger, so every tile you plant is a decision: grow the economy, or buff the defense. On top of that, relics, tools and buildings each add their own synergies, and the shop deals them out randomly, so part of every run is spotting which combination this run wants to be. Grow fast and you might outpace the goblins. Grow carelessly and you will have a rich garden with nothing defending it.
