Dorfromantik
Can't switch your brain off? Give it one tiny job: where does this little forest go? Repeat until calm.
Who it's for
Each turn asks one small question (where does this hexagon of forest, field, river or village fit?), which gives an overactive mind a contained problem instead of a sprawling one.
Feelings it meets
What it is
Dorfromantik is a tile-placing puzzle game developed and self-published by Toukana Interactive. Players build a landscape from hexagonal tiles of forest, fields, villages, water and railways, matching edges for points and completing quests that add tiles to a starting stack of 40, and a run ends when the tiles run out.
Where to find it
Steam (Windows), Nintendo eShop (Switch), PlayStation Store (PS4/PS5), Xbox Store. A separate Dorfromantik board game (Pegasus Spiele) won the 2023 Spiel des Jahres.
