Work Hard With Your Villagers In New Game By Sinister Fish

May 11, 2018 by brennon

Check out this rather swanky looking game coming out from Sinister Fish which will be available on Kickstarter from May 15th.

Villagers is a card drafting game where you are looking to build up a tableau of hard working craftsfolk in a race to win the most gold and show off how prosperous your people are.

The game plays solo but can work with up to five players at the table and features fifty-five different villager types meaning that you're going to have lots of different routes to victory each time you sit down to play. The graphic design for this game by the designer Haakon Gaarder is wonderful too I think you'll agree.

As well as a focus on drafting key craftsfolk (I love this new word) there are plenty of interesting nuances to the game to take into account. Many of your villagers will require that you build them in production chains, so you need to look ahead as well as focusing on the moment. You'll also need to make sure you have food on hand to bring new villagers to your settlement AND make sure they are effectively adding to your victory point 'machine'.

You can find out more about the game phases and such HERE and even pick up a Print & Play version of the game HERE.

What do you make of this one?
