About the game

What is Village

Life in the village is hard – but life here also allows the inhabitants to grow and prosper as they please. One villager might want to become a friar. Another might feel ambitious and strive for a career in public office. A third one might want to seek his luck in distant lands.

Each player will take the reins of a family and have them find fame and glory in many different ways. There is one thing you must not forget, however: Time will not stop for anyone and with time people will vanish. Those who will find themselves immortalized in the village chronicles will bring honor to their family and be one step closer to victory.

Village is a game full of tactical challenges. A smart and unique new action mechanism is responsible for keeping turns short and yet still tactically rich and full of difficult decisions. Also unique is the way this game deals with the delicate subject of death; as a natural and perpetual part of life in the village, thoughts of death will keep you focused on smart time-management.

Juego de gestión de recursos con un par de mecánicas bastante originales. En primer lugar, los recursos los obtienes al escoger la opción...(en lugar de colocar un trabajador, recoger un cubito de material). En segundo lugar, el paso del tiempo (algunas acciones implican un gasto de tiempo) provoca que los trabajadores se vayan muriendo. Cada jugador lleva "una familia" con cuatro generaciones. Hay unas cuantas acciones (artesanos, mercado, concejo, pozo, boda, iglesia) y muchas formas de conseguir sumar puntos. La gestión de la muerte de tus trabajadores también es importante, porque determin

Me encanta este juego. Es bonito visualmente, componentes muy cuidados y tiene una mecanica elegante y original... al menos para mi. Curioso el track de tiempo en tus acciones y como eso conduce al fallecimiento de tus mepple familiares...( y aun mas curioso cuando casi les conduces tu a la muerte para puntuar en elibro de la villa) Lo dicho, me encanta.. y escala muy bien de 2 a 4 juagdores.

Love the game concept and the mechanics, even that hard-line eurogamers could find some strange rules. Love the development of the game and the legacy of the family.
