Grove: 9 card solitaire game

If you enjoyed Orchard, get ready for another citrusy dose with Grove! This gem is the direct sequel, bringing 18 cards that will make you smell oranges, lemons, and limes. The new feature here is the glades, treeless spaces that, along with a revamped scoring mechanic, open up a range of strategies to maximize your harvest. It's a solo game that fits in your pocket and your schedule, with quick 5-10 minute games. Perfect for that break moment or for those who want to exercise their minds without complication. The cards are a show in themselves, with art that's a pleasure to behold and, on the backs, recipe challenges that add an extra layer of fun and replayability. Want a different goal? Try to beat a specific recipe! Oh, and there's a cheeky squirrel and a wheelbarrow that can help (or not!) on your fruitful journey. Grove is the kind of game you set up and play quickly, but it leaves you thinking about how to optimize the next round. It's a visual and strategic puzzle that evolves with each play, showing that small games can have a huge impact. If you're looking for an intelligent, charming pastime that doesn't take up space on the table (or in life!), Grove is a sure bet.
