About the game

What is Let's Build a Village

Players explore the wilderness by playing tiles. Each tile has a monster that the player must fight to the death. When four adjacent tiles are placed next to each other as a square, the player can build a house and attract villagers. During a player's turn, the player can take three actions including moving tile to tile to explore, digging for gold, building a house, selling a house to a village, or healing wounds.

Let's Build a Village represents an game improvised on the fly by a seven year old girl. She invented the game because she had left over 1" x 1" ceramic tiles from a second grade project. Naturally, Dad helped a bit.
