About the game

What is Solstis?

Prove your worth and score the most ⭐️ possible by traveling the mountain and assembling as many landscape tiles as possible, meeting the forest spirits and lighting fires on the peaks creating a path through the valley. The tile capture mechanics are taken from the hanafuda mechanics. Collect a tile according to the column or row then place them in your landscape. The goal of the game will be to reconstruct a landscape by combining its tiles to score as many points as possible. You will have to be careful not to leave tiles to your opponent while optimizing your landscape according to your opponent's choices. Also, create tile squares to collect spirits that will help you during or at the end of the game. The experience is zen and very quick to set up! For adults and children! —description from the publisher
