About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a magical and chaotic night! In "Midsummer Night", you and a friend (or just yourself!) will dive into an enchanted forest where the mischievous Puck has spread his spells. The goal? Untangle this mess by connecting characters to their proper places and objectives. It's a quick game, with matches lasting no more than 20 minutes, perfect for those who enjoy strategic challenges without the fuss. With each turn, you'll expand the forest with cards, creating paths and trying to meet goals. Some are straightforward, while others require a little extra help from Puck's magic potion. And speaking of Puck, if he appears in your forest, you gain a Magic token! This magic gives you the power to rearrange a previously placed card or even reveal secret bonuses during the final scoring. The fun lies in building the best possible forest, connecting everything and everyone to score more points than your opponent. It's a game that demands planning and a bit of luck, ideal for those who enjoy spatial puzzles and pattern-building mechanics. The art and theme bring a touch of fantasy, inspired by Shakespeare's works, making the experience even more immersive. Perfect for families and couples looking for a light and fun dose of strategy.
