Picked up the game Dorfromantik - it's kind of like tetris, if tetris was hexagonal blocks of varying types of terrain that could be linked for a higher score. You have a limit number of blocks in your stack that you take one off the top each turn, seeing what's next and what's coming up in the stack. Some blocks have "missions" like "connect x amount of houses" or "make a forest of 88 or more trees". By completing these missions you gain more on your stack.
The brilliant thing in my 1 hour of play last night was that I started unlocking some cool things - some blocks have rivers or trainlines, but I then unlocked a little boat and a little train, and surely enough if you connect a one of those with a line/river then the vehicle will trundle along its path while you play.
Super chill game - it's not like tetris in that way. I finished one game without even knowing my stack was empty, score flashing up on the screen with a "play again" button present. Yes, I thick I will play again :)
