What you do

Meadow Maker is a peaceful tile-placement game about coaxing a tiny countryside outward one hex at a time. Rotate the next tile, line up ponds, paths, forests, cottages, and flowers, and finish nature requests before the stack runs dry.

  • Hex-style terrain placement with six edges to fuss over.
  • Six cozy terrain families with illustrated meadow, forest, pond, path, cottage, and flower details.
  • Nature requests that reward extra tiles and small animal badges.
  • A tile stack that makes every meadow feel like a little expedition.
  • Placement previews and clear quest progress for unhurried planning.

How to play

  1. Tap an open space beside an existing tile to place the next tile.
  2. Tap the next-tile panel to rotate before placing.
  3. Matching touching edges makes the meadow feel more naturally stitched together.
  4. Complete nature requests to earn extra tiles.
  5. The meadow ends when no tiles remain.

Controls

  • Mouse or touch: tap the board to place a tile.
  • Mouse or touch: tap the next-tile panel to rotate.
  • Keyboard: press R or Space to rotate the next tile.
  • Shared toolbar: pause or restart.

Tips worth knowing

  • Use the starting tile as an anchor and grow outward.
  • Pond and forest quests are easier if you cluster the same terrain.
  • Path and cottage tiles are flexible bridges between regions.
  • Perfect placements score a bonus when all touching edges match.

Accessibility

  • Pause and restart controls stay close by.
  • Instructions and controls are available as page text outside the canvas.
  • Tiles use strong terrain colors, icons, and high-contrast outlines for readability.

Questions

Is Meadow Maker timed?

No. It is a calm meadow-building puzzle with a tile stack instead of a timer.

Why use hex tiles?

Hex tiles make the meadow feel more organic and give each placement more edge-matching choices.
