Description
Blätterrauschen ("Rustling Leaves") is a roll-and-write game, and for every season — spring, summer, autumn, and winter — there is a themed game sheet with different rules. The numbers on the dice reveal the side lengths of the area marked on the game sheet. In this area, a forest symbol is selected that is included in the scoring. Whoever collects the most points wins.

Quotes (from this video)
- There's no definitive best board game convention they just can't be because it really depends on what you want
- so what may at first seem like a straightforward logic puzzle decorum is also a game about communication and compromise
- but i think true genius can very often shine not only shine but can very often shine through the simplest of games
- The elegance and genius of design they're just the inspiration of a party game that works
- The real challenge isn't just solving the problem with the limited information you and your players have it's dealing with the frustrations that will inevitably occur when your partner does something that messes up your plan
- i felt the same way with some heavier war games that i've been wanting to get into more and more and more it's just finding people to actually play those games with who are willing to put in the effort to learn them
- there is a crucial time i feel like to play a game that excitement period between learning about the game getting the game and it's sitting on the shelf there is a window there where you are still excited about the game and it's not just become something that's sitting on your shelf

Quotes (from this video)
- this is the London box but I've got the Paris map in there and I think that's my favorite version of the game now
- a brilliant Paulo Mory tug-of War Style game all about Chess and this game was so so interesting
- the more I'm playing this the more I'm understanding how to really exploit that hand of cards and know when to throw games that you can afford to throw in order to boost up your longevity by keeping your mental strength as high as possible to make sure you have more cards in your hand as well as more pawns to boost your strength
- this one might be one of the quickest climbers through my rankings
- the more I'm playing it the more the the depth of the game is starting to reveal itself
- this is a brilliant abstract game and I don't use that word lightly it is truly an excellent piece of design and it's definitely flown right into my top 100 now for the first time
- playing new games that I've really liked such as ter pyramides has been an absolute Joy

- Get on Board now this is a flip and right Style game where you're trying to uh make this bus route on this communal board trying to pick up passengers and drop them off to their desired locations um gaining points as you do so in different ways
- floriferous so floriferous is part of the pencil first series of set collection games and it's my favorite of the bunch actually
- I love the drafting system in this game as each round there's going to be a display of cards and you're going to be going through these cards from left to right or right to left column by column
- but despite that sounding like there's some turn angsten and there is what's good about this game and what makes it a good fit for this list is that there's always a compromise there's always a plan B
- wonderfully Illustrated lovely flow uh only about 20 minutes to play
