Spring Meadow

Picture yourself in a valley where the snow still hugs the ground and the sun starts to smile. In *Spring Meadow*, you take on the role of an explorer who must plan every move to claim the largest meadow area. The board is a grid, and you place tiles strategically, trying to cover as many squares as possible. Each tile has 0 to 2 holes, and those holes are the key: when you create or expand a hole group, you receive extra tiles that can turn the tide in your favor. But watch out for the marmots! They have burrows scattered across the board and can block your path if you get too close. The ultimate goal? Earn hiking pins – the first to collect two pins wins. It blends grid coverage, pattern building, and tile placement mechanics in a spring setting that comes alive with 172 tiles in 49 shapes. If you love logic puzzles, pieces that fit together like a jigsaw, and the thrill of mastering a board, *Spring Meadow* will surprise you. The game works well for 1‑4 players, with playtimes from 15 to 60 minutes, and a moderate learning curve, perfect for those wanting something deeper than a casual game but not as heavy as a board‑gaming behemoth.
