In Cottage Garden, players become ambitious gardeners, tasked with filling their garden beds with a variety of plants, flowerpots, and cloches. Each Flowerbed is scored based on visible Flower Pots and Garden Cloches, with players receiving additional Flower Pots and Cats to aid in gardening. The goal is to accumulate the most points by the end of the game, ensuring beautifully designed, blooming gardens. This is a digital conversion of Uwe Rosenberg's popular board game for 2-4 local or online players.

The music aspect of the game has been criticized for lacking a volume scale, offering only an on/off option or excessively loud sound levels, which makes it difficult to communicate with friends or manage game audio effectively.
“There is no volume scale for music or sound effects, or even a master volume option. It's either off or blasting your ears, making it impossible to talk with friends online while running any game sound at the same time.”
“The music is either too loud or completely muted, with no way to adjust the volume levels. This makes it frustrating to enjoy the game while trying to communicate with others.”
“The lack of a proper audio control system for music and sound effects really detracts from the overall experience, as it forces players to choose between enjoying the game or being able to chat with friends.”
