Product Information

Staying with the weather theme, the sudden, loud noise of thunder is often described as a clap of thunder, while the low noise of thunder in the distance is a rumble of thunder: If there is a sudden, loud noise in a place that was quiet, we may say that the noise shatters or breaks the silence: A sharp burst of gunfire shattered the silence. Okay, so this is where Rustling Leaves gets surprisingly thinky. A little bit like Trek12 (another awesome roll and write), the special sauce is spread all over the scoring in this game.

Then when I popped the lid, my eyes nearly did the same thing; pop! The number of sheets on the player sheet pad runs to 200! Literally, enough leaves to cover an entire tree! But that’s for good reason – there are in fact 4 unique sheet types for Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each with different rules and scoring criteria.

The cloud faces on the die and including the normal pips add a wrinkle to all four seasonal sheets. They increase certain scoring icons or stop you from scoring them completely. Every time a cloud is rolled, everyone is interesting as it may affect their strategy positively or even negatively. The End Of The Game At this point I just want to mention how everything ties in so well with the seasonal settings – the icons, how they score…..it’s all connected and very cool!

But with the name Rustling Leaves, there’s definitely no excuse not to sing like a bird about this light, crunchy little puzzly roll and write!
