Step into the serene yet strategic world of HUTAN: Life in the Rainforest, a charming open-drafting and tile-placement game by acclaimed designers Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen.
Low complexity, high component charm, and very high replay value, HUTAN is a relaxing puzzle experience with just enough tactical depth to keep every round fresh.
In HUTAN, you will:
- Draft flower cards and carefully arrange them on your board
- Grow trees by overlapping matching flowers
- Score animals by completing colored zones
- Balance positive and negative scoring as you plan your rainforest
The game plays over 9 quick rounds (about 30–45 minutes), offering a puzzle-like solo mode, unique boards, and several modular challenges for variety. While the theme is light and the interaction low, the delightful tree tokens and clever scoring system keep players engaged in their own little ecosystems, with luck and timing making all the difference.
Best enjoyed as a calm, strategic solo or multiplayer experience, HUTAN shines brightest at 3 players, where downtime stays minimal and decisions meaningful. Try it now by clicking the link below, or learn it through the tutorial:
