Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Draw tiles and build the landscape together
Each turn, players draw a hexagonal tile and place it on the landscape they're building. The tiles depict features such as train tracks, rivers, fields, villages, and now even cherry blossoms (a new addition to Sakura!).
2. Complete tasks to get points
Some tiles have objectives: e.g., "connect 5 fields" or "connect 4 tracks." When you complete them correctly, you earn points. Exceeding them doesn't count! Precise planning is required.
3. Collect cherry blossom petals with the new Sakura lenses
In this version, there are missions related to cherry blossom trees (a new type of tile). Connecting them correctly allows you to collect petals, unlock content, and improve your overall score.
4. Unlock new tiles and modules with the campaign system
Like the original Dorfromantik , the game evolves over time: by completing matches and missions, you unlock booster packs with new rules, tiles, objectives, and mechanics, increasing variety and challenge.
5. Work together to get the best score possible
The game is completely cooperative: you win (or lose) together by trying to optimize your choices. At the end of the game, you add up your points and track your campaign progress.
