In Village, you take the reins of a family and guide it across several generations to become the most prestigious in the square. Some of your people will become friars, others will pursue a seat in the council chamber, take up a craft, or seek their fortune in faraway lands. It is up to you to decide where to invest your energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of this \u003cstrong\u003estrategy game\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003ecube placement\u003c\/strong\u003e mechanism that is as simple as it is elegant. On your turn, you take a cube from one of the board's locations and perform its action: grow your family, harvest bags of grain, craft goods, sell at the market, enter the church, sit on the council or travel. Every move costs you time, and that is where Village stands apart: time is your true resource. As it runs out, the oldest members of your family eventually pass away. Those who lived well are recorded in the village chronicle and earn you prestige points; the rest fall into the anonymous graveyard. The game ends as soon as the chronicle or the anonymous graveyard is full, and the player with the most prestige wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTense, replayable and never chaotic, Village rewards planning and opportunism. Every turn forces you to read an ever-changing situation and grab the right cube at the right moment.

Perfect for \u003cstrong\u003eworker placement\u003c\/strong\u003e fans who want a twist of originality and smart interaction between players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVillage swept two of the hobby's biggest honors in the same year: the \u003cstrong\u003eKennerspiel des Jahres 2012\u003c\/strong\u003e (Germany's expert game of the year) and the Deutscher Spiele Preis 2012. Its time mechanism, where you must accept the passing of your villagers to move forward, remains one of the most original in its category and is still held up as an example more than a decade after its release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVillage is designed by the duo Inka and Markus Brand, a pair of authors known for polished management games and for the hit series Exit: The Game.
