A tile placement game about claiming picnic spots under the cherry blossom, where activity tokens only go to whoever has surrounded them with the stronger set of blankets.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy spatial majority puzzles with a gentle theme and a board that looks good as it fills.
Not for you if…
You want a relaxing themed experience without direct competition, or blocking and being blocked frustrates you.
Vibe's take
Serene to look at, quietly ruthless to play – the board fills with blossoms while everyone jostles for the same three tokens.
