Solstice
Prove your worth and earn as many stars as possible by traversing the mountain and assembling the greatest number of Landscape tiles, encountering forest spirits, and lighting fires on the peaks by creating a path in the valley.
The tile-capturing mechanic is inspired by the hanafuda mechanic. Collect a tile based on the column or row, then place them in your landscape. The goal of the game will be to reconstruct a landscape by combining your tiles to score as many points as possible. You'll need to be careful not to leave tiles for your opponent while optimizing your landscape according to their choices. Also, create squares of tiles to collect spirits that will help you during or at the end of the game.
