Dorfromantik: Sakura is a standalone cooperative landscape puzzle set among cherry groves, rice fields, villages, roads, and rivers. Players reveal and place one hexagonal tile at a time, discussing the best position while keeping the whole map connected. Task tiles ask for territories or routes of exact sizes; completed markers, enclosed flags, and long roads and rivers produce the group score. That result advances a campaign sheet and unlocks more than forty achievements from six sealed boxes, gradually adding components and fresh scoring ideas without destroying anything. Sakura keeps the relaxing foundation of Dorfromantik while giving experienced groups a more demanding path to master.
