Today’s #TeaGame for #TabletopGails is the lovely, calming GENTLE RAIN, from @MondoNews Games!

It’s a simple, enjoyable tile placement game that plays great solo or with more players.

1/

Created by @kevinwilson42, you place matching tiles of a tranquil lake, and when you can match a square block of four, you place a round wooden ‘blossom’ in the center.

You have eight blossoms and must place them all before running out of tiles.

The ‘lies’ are really beautiful in themselves, so even if you ‘lose,’ it’s fun to play. It’s the only game where the instructions tell you to wear loose clothes and drink good tea, I think.

Just. Beautiful, tranquil game. Fun as solitaire, more fun with two.

Endless fun in a tiny box, and the pieces are beautiful.

One of our favorite #Teagames.

Unfortunately, at the moment is is sold out at @mondonews, so I would say try your local gme shop first. If anyone has a good supplier, please list them here.

This game has a dedicated fan base, so hopefully it comes back soon! Recommended!

Also, it takes like, a MINUTE to learn and could easily be played with kids.

Pick up a copy if you see one, I gather it is quite in demand.

Thanks @MondoNews and @KevinWilson42

It does appear to be a little hard to find right now…so I’m asking, games, creators and retailers.

Do you know of other games like this, that are tranquil and beautiful, for two players or more?
