## Description
In Petrichor, you're not a farmer, but a cloud on a mission to bring life to the dry earth! Your main goal is to grow, sire more clouds, and, of course, water the crops. The catch? Your fellow clouds have the same ambitious plans. To stand out and be crowned the Most Valuable Cloud, you'll need to be clever: manipulate the weather and 'convince' other clouds to join your cause, ensuring the maximum amount of crops receive the right amount of water at the right time. This game is all about interaction, where 4 simple actions can change everything across the fields. You move your clouds with water droplets and decide where to rain down to make the harvest a success. Timing is crucial, as you can influence when and how often the harvest occurs. Balancing control of the areas with the right harvest timing is key to victory. Petrichor offers a unique experience, with a modular board that ensures novelty in every game and a robust solo mode designed by Dávid Turczi. Get ready for a celestial contest where strategy and weather forecasting go hand in hand!
