A Gentle Rain · English second edition · (2024)
Your rating:
I have been unable to enjoy my copy because it is misprinted and with the circles you have to fit together being off center the 3 "red/orange" colored flowers become so hard to match that it is a challenge and not the challenge the game wants to pose. edit: I got a replacement copy that is marginally better. The 3 red colors remain hard to distinguish. In any case after a few games this has grown on me as a very relaxed little tile laying puzzle for those moments where I want something on my table that isn't terribly taxing. Rating 7 2026 After 30+ plays. I first saw this recommended on various solo gamers' lists. But it was OOP at the time and so when it reappeared I eagerly snatched a copy. Only to be very disappointed by the gameplay. Because there is almost no gameplay. Just put tiles together. It is more of a meditative exercise with a cup of tea than a game. But it has grown on me somehow. I now consider it an essential solo in my collection. It is a comforting game I play when I need to just get my thoughts together or away from something that carries over from my day at work. I do not rate it as high as some other games I have because it really is not much of a game-game. But it is so very satisfying to plop in the last flower. Rating 6
