The final expansion for Petrichor has arrived, bringing a decidedly bovine twist to your cloud-faring strategy game! Petrichor: Cows introduces new concerns and mechanics that are sure to get everyone talking. Prepare to deal with the byproducts of cows: Manure, which improves crop quality, and Methane Gas, which affects the global climate. The new 'Graze' action allows you to influence the cows and manipulate the climate in favor of your crops. And speaking of climate, new climate-sensitive trees are added to the game: the Norway Spruce, the Baobab, the Date Palm, and the Sweet Chestnut. This expansion can be combined with Petrichor: Flowers and Petrichor: Honeybee to create even more epic and action-packed rainy matches. And if you enjoy playing solo, the content from Cows also works with the Southern Winds solo mode. It's the perfect recipe for those who want more depth and interaction in this game of clouds and crops, with a touch of humor and environmental strategy.
