In Petrichor, you are a cloud. Use weather to your advantage to ensure you grow the most crops. This sounds like an easy task, but all of the other clouds are trying to do the same thing! Prepare for some mischief in the sky as you trick and outsmart your friends to make sure you are reigning cloud!
Petrichor is a highly interactive board game, playable by 1-4 people (up to 5 with the expansion, see below). It’s an action selection/area influence game, with 4 simple actions which interact with the various fields in ever surprising ways. The players move clouds with water droplets, and then rain those droplets onto specific fields, to make sure they have the right amount of water for the Harvest. During a Harvest, crops that have been watered enough are scored! Players are able to influence when, and how often the harvest happens. Players need to strike a fine balance between maintaining control of the different fields as well as influencing Harvest, to make sure the two come together at the optimal time.
Playtesters said it is “like Dominant Species in a fifth of the time”; the game’s tightly interlocked and thematic mechanisms provide excitement, lots of interaction, and field-watering fun!
APE Games is co-publishing Petrichor in cooperation with Mighty Boards.
Designed by David Chircop, the designer of …and then we held hands and Pursuit of Happiness, with additional development and a challenging, full solo mode added by David Turczi ([redacted], Anachrony, Days of Ire: Budapest 1956), and published by the team that brought you titles such as Vengeance and Posthuman.
From the magical hands of Daniela “iella” Attard comes this both realistic and fable-like presentation of plants, weather, and many many water droplets.
Petrichor is a one- to five-player game, for ages 14+. It requires about twenty minutes per player.
Hello,

Sorry, we won’t be at Essen Spiel this year. Mighty Boards will be there, but they’ll have only a few copies of Petrichor available. I’m sure they will not be selling to retail at the show.
You will have collector’s edition box from petrichor????
Dear,
is there still copies of Petrichor KS edition available? I live in Belgium.
Thus including those promo’s.
Kind regards,
Bjorn Bal.
Dear APE,
Yesterday at Spiel I bought Petrichor. I was pretty excited to buy it (my first large boardgame!!!) I just opened the box to set it up for a nice weekend playing and found a stickererror on the score board. I’m really dissapointed, is it possible to get a new board all else seems perfect <3. Can't find an e-mail adress feel free to send an e-mail as reply!
The best thing would be to go back to the Mightyboards booth to get a new board. Alternately, if you live in Europe then please contact Mighty Boards directly from their site mightyboards.con. Otherwise we can help you.
How do I contact you regarding buying replacement pieces??
As mentioned above, please see the Mighty Boards site:

Are the Kickstarter exclusives available still? I was introduced to this game after the honeybee expansion Kickstarter ended.
(I’m a bit of a completist. I’m sorry.)
Sorry, we don’t have more. You could try contacting Mighty Boards.
could you please bring back the poops? lol
You’ll have to talk to Mighty Boards about that, I’m afraid.
Hello,
We received a copy with a few damaged pieces. Is it possible to get replacements for them?
Are you guys looking to do any more reprints via Kickstarter or FLGS??
Looking to get a copy And it seems to be sold out in most places.
Petrichor is still in stock, though inventory for the Honeybee expansion is running low. We don’t have any in our warehouse right now to sell, but we’ll get some in the next month or so. Your friendly retail store should have ready access to games, as we work with distributors everywhere.
Hello, is this restock coming into the UK :)?
There should be no reason the game is not available in the UK. Let me know what distributor(s) you use there via email (info at apegames dot com).
