A Gentle Rain: Bloom Edition

A Gentle Rain: Bloom Edition is a cozy solo/cooperative tile-laying puzzle by Kevin Wilson and Incredible Dream. Match flower petals, place satisfying 3D blossoms, and unwind with a calming 15-minute experience—perfect for mindful gameplay, families, and fans of elegant small-box games.

Breathe in, place a tile, and watch the lilies bloom. In A Gentle Rain: Bloom Edition, every turn is a quiet moment of focus—match colors, complete pools, and set delicate blossoms onto the lake before the rain fades. Quick to learn, endlessly soothing, and beautiful on the table.

How the Game Works

Draw one lake tile and place it so adjacent edges match by color/flower. Your tranquil tableau expands outward, creating pockets of still water as tiles interlock. Whenever four tiles surround a circular space, a lily blooms—place a blossom token matching one of the surrounding flowers.

Your calm challenge: bloom all eight unique lilies before you run out of tiles. The order of tiles changes every game, so you’ll weigh short-term matches against long-term blossoms, nudging the lake toward harmony in about 15 minutes.
