Not relaxing, not beautiful
The simplest way to describe it is as a special form of dominoes: you have to keep placing these tiles but they don't (necessarily) have to match their existing neighbors, but the more they do, the more points you get; points let you keep playing. Matches are considered on each of six sides, but it's OK if they don't match at all, except for some special tiles like rivers and railroads, which have special "capping" tiles and can't be otherwise interrupted. It's not relaxing: to keep the game challenging, some tiles add quests (you have to add a certain number of houses/trees/fields in connected tile groups, connect a certain number of rail/river tiles) and while you can fail them, this means your tile stack, which is finite, won't be refilled, causing you to lose the game. Keeping track of current quests and seeing your stack shrink makes this game anything but relaxing. It's not beautiful: while the sytle is nice, and they have nice touches like boats sailing up and down the river, in a normal game your landscape just looks random, and anyway, you can't admire it, you keep looking for the best place for the next tile. After losing (running out of tiles) you can keep going in a creative mode, where you have infinite tiles and can delete or copy or create a matching tile, so you can do whatever you want. You can run Creative mode from the start, although the game doesn't make it clear. It's too limited to be fun, however; feels like an afterthought. While the UI for placing tiles is great, managing your games is obscure. Just go to Menu, then to "Your games" to start a new game or delete a current one (there's autosave). I was looking for a relaxing game, but this is anything but. They add special tiles like Windmill as you play and finish quests, but they're just another thing to track. After the tutorial and your first game, you have no reason to play again. If you are into matching games this might appeal to you, but if you want relaxation look elsewhere.
