Les tuiles de puzzle ajourées constituent le cœur de ce jeu de stratégie casual, posées sur des plateaux forestiers pour s'emparer de baies, noix, champignons et plumes. Les joueurs collectionnent ces trésors au cœur d'un automne doux dans les bois de Nouvelle-Angleterre, où les feuilles colorées tombent des cimes au milieu des écureuils bruissants. L'objectif reste limpide : couvrir en premier l'ensemble de son plateau forestier avec des feuilles pour l'emporter.
Ce titre indie prolonge la trilogie de puzzles d'Uwe Rosenberg entamée par Cottage Garden, en réclamant des tactiques plus affûtées pour ces ressources. Il cible les joueurs aguerris avides de compétition serrée. Les parties courtes mettent l'accent sur l'habile placement des tuiles et le contrôle du plateau.
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.
