Petrichor

Petrichor is the smell that rises when rain falls on dry ground. In this game you are a cloud, and you have just one goal: grow, make new clouds and give the fields water. That sounds peaceful, but do not be fooled. The other clouds at the table want exactly the same thing, and they will not give you a drop more than they have to. You slide your clouds across the board, collect raindrops and drop them at the right moment on the fields you have your eye on. During the harvest, the crops that got enough water score points. The clever part is the timing: you help decide when and how often a harvest happens. Too early and your crops are not ready; too late and an opponent takes the profit. Again and again you look for that perfect moment when everything comes together. With four simple actions Petrichor gets going quickly, but the choices keep surprising you. You play it with 1 to 4 players, and the solo mode by D tavid Turczi means you can enjoy a tough game on your own too. A game that challenges you to think ahead and keep a close eye on your neighbours at the same time.
