A gentle tile-laying game where nobody owns the paths you build. Everyone lays hex tiles to extend colored trails, then rides those shared trails to guide butterflies from the central fountain into their own flowerbeds. Originally released as Indigo, it turns route-building into a quiet game of steering shared movement to your advantage.
Who it's for
Fans of clean abstracts and gentle spatial puzzles who like reading a board and nudging shared movement their way.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a meaty strategy game with deep decisions, or you find purely abstract, low-conflict games forgettable.
Vibe's take
Calm and spatial, with a satisfying click when a tile you placed sends a butterfly gliding exactly where you wanted.
