   Despite what one reviewer wrote, it’s not difficult to learn. Any game of this level requires the ability to read some detailed instructions and maybe even watch a video. I have hundreds of such games and they take a bit of patience. So, if you have the attention span of a gnat, skip this game. It’s not for you. If learning games that take less than 5 minutes is your style, grab a crappy game from your local grocery store, enjoy a light beer, and have a good night.

   Me han gustado los componentes y que el tema está bien implementado con la mecánica. Lo único que no me gusta o no entiendo es lo que quiere decir el autor con el sistema de votaciones para el pronóstico del tiempo.
   La razón de comprar el juego es porque el tema es original y se aleja de conflictos bélicos, económicos y políticos.
   Es un juego para jugones de corte familiar y se queda corto para jugones con el “culo pelao”.

   A stunningly elegant game that is fairly simple to get to grips with and has wonderfully fluid gameplay that can flow in countless directions, but always makes sense. It’s one of those special games that’s even a joy to look at and watch being played by others. A work of genius!

   In Petrichor, you manipulate the weather in order to score points. You do this by playing action cards for frost, sun, wind, and rain. Respectively, these allow you to add a cloud with a raindrop above a field, add raindrops to a cloud, move a cloud, or move a raindrop from clouds to the fields below. Taking any of these actions allows you to vote for the upcoming weather phase, or to manipulate one of three dice toward its harvest icon. The weather phase produces effects that are similar to (but more dramatic than) the action-cards, but only the two types that received the most votes will occur, and top backers will receive a boost for endgame points. Following the weather, if all three dice show the harvest icon, players with raindrops on field-tiles with developed plants will score various amounts of points based on the types of plants. Forget about the fact that each player’s raindrops are colored glass stones. Petrichor is a fairly abstract area-control game, and while you can choose to really mess with other players, the game flow and the presentation are meant to be calming, like the scent of rain after a dry spell. These aspects are reminiscent of Tokaido, and it achieves them capably, if not elegantly. It’s easy to forget to vote, for example, or that plants have minimum requirements to develop prior to a harvest. Occasionally it requires nimble fingers to remove vote tokens without bumping the score markers, but these are minor grievances toward a game that pretty consistently engages everyone for about 20 minutes per player. It’s not a social game, but it is tactical, requiring decisions in the moment based on the actions of other players, and strategic in choosing whether to ditch your cards and go first, or save specific cards in anticipation of weather likely to hit in the next round. The same player never goes first on consecutive rounds, but it doesn’t simply pass to the next player either. It’s a great mechanic, and I’m certain other game designs will use it in the future. Recommended for people who want a highly-competitive, lower-intensity experience for 2 to 4 players with a solitaire variant.

   Confusing, hard to learn.
