Cottage Days: Ready for Winter

A Cozy Solo Game of Autumn Preparations

A little cottage. A few golden autumn days. And winter is on its way.

The leaves are falling, the air is turning crisp, and the first snowfall isn't far away. There's still plenty to do before winter settles in. Firewood needs stacking, the pantry needs stocking, and the cottage could use a few finishing touches to make it warm and welcoming.

Welcome to Cottage Days: Ready for Winter, a charming solo game that combines gentle strategy, seasonal activities, and optional journaling into a relaxing autumn experience.

With just a standard deck of playing cards, a six-sided die, and a little imagination, you'll spend your final autumn days preparing a cozy woodland cottage for winter.

How will you spend your days?

Each day brings a new event drawn from the diamond suit of your playing cards. Perhaps a neighbor lends a helping hand, a sudden rainstorm keeps you indoors, or an unexpected burst of energy lets you accomplish a little more.

You'll have just two actions each day, so choose wisely! Focus on essential preparations, add a few cozy comforts, and see how ready your cottage is when the first snow arrives.

Inside the game, you'll find:

• A charming autumn setting and simple, easy-to-learn rules

• 13 seasonal events inspired by the diamond suit of playing cards

• Winter preparation projects and cozy cottage comforts

• A beautifully illustrated cottage property map

• Five possible endings based on your preparations

• Optional journaling prompts to make the experience your own

• Complimentary printable game sheets and decorative cutouts

Play your way. Track your progress on the printable game sheet, or bring the experience into your favorite journal with notes, checklists, and little stories about your days at the cottage.

There's no need to rush, no complicated rules to learn, and no perfect way to play. Just a handful of autumn days, a cottage to care for, and the quiet satisfaction of getting ready for winter.

Your cottage is waiting. Are you ready for the first snow?

This is a solo game for one player. You'll need a standard deck of playing cards (using the diamond suit), one six-sided die, and a pencil or pen. A journal is optional.
