Vibe's take

Calm and meditative on the surface, with a sharp tactical edge underneath — every tile you take is also a tile you deny your opponent.

About this game

Solstis is a quiet, elegant tile-capture game about traveling a mountain and reconstructing a landscape one tile at a time. Borrowing its capture mechanic from hanafuda card play, you take tiles by matching rows or columns, then arrange them into your own scenery — meeting forest spirits and lighting peak fires as you build a path through the valley. It sets up and plays in minutes, but the choices about what to leave for your opponent stay sharp throughout.
