Indian Summer is a beautiful, tranquil puzzle experience that hides a surprisingly deep layer of strategy. As the second entry in Uwe Rosenberg's puzzle trilogy, it focuses on filling your forest floor with colorful autumn leaves. The polyomino tile-placement is satisfyingly tactile, even on a screen, and the way you 'peek' through the holes in the leaves to collect treasures is a clever twist.
It feels much faster and more aggressive than its predecessor, Cottage Garden. You are constantly racing to finish sections of your board to gain special actions like the 'Squirrel' or the 'Rake.' The solo mode is particularly strong, offering a meditative but challenging way to engage with the mechanics. Visually, it's stunning, capturing the warm hues of a late autumn forest perfectly.

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 β 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.

Save your 'Berries' to replenish your tile supply when you're stuck. Using the 'Rake' allows you to place two tiles in one turn, which is essential for winning the race.
