About this game

Indian Summer
Before winter makes its appearance, a particularly warm fall bathes the forest in a golden shimmer. During the Indian Summer, New England blossoms one last time. Treetops are ablaze with countless colors — a living rainbow, from green to orange to red. Slowly the first leaves are starting to fall. Meanwhile, our steps and the diligent squirrels rustle the colorful foliage.

On our walks through the woods, we discover all kinds of little treasures; we collect berries, nuts, mushrooms and feathers. We pause for a moment to watch the shy inhabitants of the forest before we set off towards home once again. There, a good book and a hot tea are already awaiting.

The heart of Indian Summer are puzzle tiles with holes that are placed on individual forest boards to cover up treasures. When players get their hands on these, they gain more options and an edge over their opponents. All that counts in the end is to be the first to cover your forest floor completely with leaves.

Indian Summer is the second part of Uwe Rosenberg''s puzzle trilogy following 2016's smash hit game, Cottage Garden. This game is further geared towards more experienced players.

Ratings and reviews

I love this app version of the game! Wonderful graphics, beautiful music,,and the option to play against people in person on same device, online, or against various computer ais that are actually challenging. I am so glad that I bought this app. If you have never played before, the tutorial can be a bit confusing sometimes, but play a few times against the easy ai and you will be fine :0)

Along with Cottage Garden, this is a decent conversion of a boardgame. The game has added some extra elements to the tile-placing play, however I still could not see much variety to the options available to the player. I like Patchwork better, which keeps things simple, while still allowing for planning ahead.

Already own Cottage Garden, so did I really need ANOTHER fit the shape on your board kind of game? Is it different enough? Truth? It was the squirrels that lured me in. Different enough from its predecessor to warrant owning both. But DON'T rely on the tutorial to learn how to play. As a hardcore gamer, I still found myself hunting down reviews of the boardgame version to learn how to play. But ultimately, yes, worth the effort, and a keeper.
