Village Builder (2020)

Medieval cities: they’re cramped, muddy, and generally unpleasant. You want something more. So, you’ve set out on your own to forge a new path. Start a village from meager beginnings and perhaps someday it will grow into your very own cramped, muddy, and generally unpleasant city! Village Builder is a hand management tile laying worker placement game. The goal is to accrue as many victory points as you can by building a bustling village. Use workers to collect resources from your existing building tiles and increase the size of your village. Points are accrued by laying tiles in sets of matching residential and industrial tiles, along with non-matching commercial tiles. Increase your score by upgrading buildings to Level 2 or 3; transform the Peasant Hut into the Noble House! Bonus points can be accrued by strategically placing buildings like the Workshop, Vineyard, Blacksmith, and Tanner. —description from the designer
