Autumn
Autumn is a tiny, quick game for two, with two trees competing for space by shedding leaves. It lasts about as long as a break, but leaves a lovely melancholy little scene on the table.

Autumn is the ten-minute companion you reach for when the day has been full of obligations and you have no appetite for mounting a whole game night. Two trees, leaves everywhere, and a gentle autumnal melancholy which, mercifully, asks nobody to discuss their feelings in a circle.
At its heart is the well-tested rhythm of draw a card, play a card. The cards carry the game along briskly and clearly, without turning a few spare minutes into a miniature office workshop.
It is not a row; it is that polite nudge across the table until one canopy has spread a little better.

The two trees shed leaves to claim ground, so the interaction is direct: the space you want is often the space the other player wants too. It is not a row; it is that polite nudge across the table until one canopy has spread a little better.
In eight to ten pleasant minutes, Autumn offers a small game with a clear theme and no commotion. It is quietly excellent company for a travel table or a Tuesday after work — and, honestly, cheaper than two gyros.
