About the game
Predicting the weather is not easy, but suppose you could manipulate it? In this accessible game, you help determine what the weather will do. To win the game, you need a big dose of bluff in addition to tactical insight. Will you trump your opponents in this power struggle? —description from the publisher (translated) Each round there are a pair of dayboards on the table with space for weather tokens. Each player receives a number of weather cards, which, together with the weather tokens, determine how much influence they have on the day's weather. On your turn, you choose a weather token and place it on one of the dayboards. Sometimes this activates an additional action. If a dayboard is full, an interim prediction follows. Each player may then choose to increase the number of days he thinks he/she has the most influence on by 1. Once all the dailboards are filled, you get points if you correctly predict the number of days you have the most influence on. If not, you get minus points. After each round, a dayboard is added and it starts all over again. The player who has the most points at the end of the game wins the game!
