Petrichor
Players act as clouds that expand, spawn cloudlets and move water droplets over a patchwork of fields. On each turn they choose from a small set of actions to reposition clouds, transfer water and rain onto specific fields, and otherwise manipulate when harvests occur. Crops require particular amounts of water to score, so players balance controlling fields and timing harvests to maximize their yield. The game supports 1–4 players (and more with an expansion) and emphasizes area influence, resource placement and interaction between opponents as clouds compete to irrigate the most productive fields.

Garfield9.0 #50 Wow, what a beautiful game! Very nice mechanics, gorgeous artwork. The only negative point is the drawing cards, if you have bad luck you have to use more cards than others and therefore will not win. #NetworkBuilding Some very nice mechanics in it.
