About this board game
A Gentle Rain is a solo tile-placement game for one player that takes about 15 minutes to play. Arrange lake tiles carefully to create a rare and beautiful sight: all eight kinds of lilies blooming at once.
Begin by placing each newly drawn tile next to a tile already in play. The colors of every touching edge must match, turning each placement into a focused exercise in planning and spatial awareness.
Whenever you complete a square of four touching tiles, a blossom opens between them. Your goal is to cause all eight types of lilies to bloom before you run out of tiles and the rain ends.
- Solo play for one person
- Approximately 15 minutes per game
- Color-matching tile placement
- Eight lily types to bring into bloom
The gentle setting and straightforward rules make A Gentle Rain an inviting experience centered on careful choices. Every tile can shape the lake and help—or hinder—the chance of completing the squares needed to reveal more blossoms.
You can keep score if you want an added challenge, or simply enjoy the process of building the lake and watching the flowers appear. Released in 2021, A Gentle Rain offers a compact, relaxing puzzle of matching colors, completing patterns, and making the most of a limited supply of tiles.
