Puzzle tiles with holes form the core of this casual strategy game, placed on forest boards to claim berries, nuts, mushrooms, and feathers. Players gather these treasures during a warm fall in New England woods, where colorful leaves drift from treetops amid rustling squirrels. The goal stays simple: cover your entire forest floor with leaves first to win.
This indie title builds on Uwe Rosenberg's puzzle trilogy after Cottage Garden, demanding sharper tactics for those treasures. It suits experienced players ready for tighter competition. Short sessions keep the focus on clever tile placement and board control.
Indian Summer
Before winter makes its appearance, a particularly warm fall bathes the forest in a golden shimmer. During the Indian Summer, New England blossoms one last time. Treetops are ablaze with countless colors — a living rainbow, from green to orange to red. Slowly the first leaves are starting to fall. Meanwhile, our steps and the diligent squirrels rustle the colorful foliage.
On our walks through the woods, we discover all kinds of little treasures; we collect berries, nuts, mushrooms and feathers. We pause for a moment to watch the shy inhabitants of the forest before we set off towards home once again. There, a good book and a hot tea are already awaiting.
The heart of Indian Summer are puzzle tiles with holes that are placed on individual forest boards to cover up treasures. When players get their hands on these, they gain more options and an edge over their opponents. All that counts in the end is to be the first to cover your forest floor completely with leaves.
Indian Summer is the second part of Uwe Rosenberg''s puzzle trilogy following 2016's smash hit game, Cottage Garden. This game is further geared towards more experienced players.
