Falling is a game from one of my game anthologies about frantically trying to catch leaves in the period between those events. ๐
don't forget to leave the leaves on the ground, or redistribute them at the end of the game, so that butterflies, moths, and other important pollinators and insects can nest.
The leaves donโt need to be left exactly where they fall. You can rake them into garden beds, around tree bases, or into other designated areas. Too many leaves can kill grass, but in soil they can suppress weeds, retain moisture, and boost nutrition.
