A Gentle Rain
Not all games are about winning. Some are about feeling better.
A lake, rain, eight blooming flowers… and a deeper breath
A Gentle Rain – Relax the mind, blossom the heart
Turn off your phone. Put on a playlist of nature sounds. Open the box.
A Gentle Rain is not a board game like the others: it is a moment of quiet, a little ritual to remind you that you don't always have to rush.
Place tiles slowly, watch the colors fit together, and watch the flowers bloom when you least expect it. There's no opponent, no countdown: just you, the lake, and the sweet sound of falling rain .
And even if you can't make all eight flowers bloom... that's okay. You played. You breathed.
An abstract game to slow down and meditate
A Gentle Rain – Hobby Edition is a solitaire abstract board game designed to provide 15 minutes of relaxation and concentration .
Your goal? Place tiles along the lake's edge so that all eight lotus flowers bloom before the tiles run out. Each correct placement creates harmony, and when you complete a square... a flower blooms.
Simple to learn, beautiful to look at, with a minimal and zen mechanic that is truly relaxing.
Perfect as a mindfulness game, to start or end the day, or even as a small personal wellness ritual.
One flower at a time, a calmer mind
There's no text. There's no mandatory score. There's no stress.
The beauty of A Gentle Rain lies in its extreme simplicity : you draw a tile, place it, and watch the colored edges find harmony.
If you form a square, a flower token is placed in the center.
The goal? Make all eight flowers bloom. But even if you fail... you've already won.
