Product Information

To find the instructions for how to play, look for an enclosed booklet on the board game box that explains the rules in detail. To interpret and understand these rules best, it is important to read through each description of card functions carefully before beginning play. Once you feel familiar enough with how everything works, you are ready to start playing! Setting Up After the tutorials, there are a further 10 unique scenarios in the rule book. These not only give different maps, but also very different objectives for each game. You could also select a certain scenario based on game length – we’ve found that the timings in the book are extremely accurate. I like how each scenario forces you to think differently and perhaps select different characters. You’ll need to co-operate well and focus on each character’s specialism to have a chance in some of the more difficult scenarios. Scores are tallied on scoring dials which are well produced and add to the overall charm of the game. All Aboard When I first came across Village, and what initially seemed a rather dry theme, I thought this might be dull, then again I initially thought a game about farming would be dull – how wrong I was on both counts.

Adapt Your Strategy – You should always be prepared to adjust or adapt your strategy in response to unexpected changes within the game; by doing this, you can capitalize on opportunities as they arise or avoid potential pitfalls before it’s too late! Closing the Match Game Play: Setting Up A Village and Playing Through Rounds (How long is a round? What should the players do during a round?) Village Green tasks you with winning the annual village green of the year contest. If that hasn’t hooked you in already then carry on reading! To win the game you will manage a hand of green cards using them to score as many award cards as you can. You will play your green cards to a three by three grid, while playing award cards on one end of each row and column, scoring only for the three green cards in that row or column.

You are now ready to start with the first player being the person with the earliest letter in the alphabet on their ‘board’ How To Play As mentioned earlier, pretty much every action costs time, so with each action the time marker progresses, and when it passes a fixed point on that players farm one of his workers must die. When all the cubes have been removed from the board that particular turn is over, bar the possibility of a few victory points from Mass the church. There is a delicate balance here, when workers die they no longer give the benefit of being in play, but if they enter the Village Chronicle they are a long term investment in terms of victory points. It is a balance, and one your fellow players will be watching and trying to make the most use of especially since there are a limited number of available spaces in the Village Chronicle. Winning is determined by victory points. There are numerous ways, both short and long term, to accumulate victory points. This leads to players having the option of various strategies in play and often these will change or develop as play progresses. As such no two games will be alike as players respond to the opportunities presented on the game board. Contents I normally love collaborations between Matthew Dunstan & Brett J Gilbert and this is no exception. Together they have created a very clever, thinky but at the same time simple tableau game which has a lovely theme and lots of replayability. Osprey Games have made the cards small and the components fairly basic but that has kept the costs lower and it all fits into a compact box.

I hope this has helped you to learn the rules and how Village Rails plays. Obviously, I would always recommend people use the official rule book to learn the rules in depth but this blog should give you a really good flavour of how the game flows. Every village will be made up of a 4×4 grid of cards. Award cards are placed in the top row or leftmost column of the village. Although award cards must always be placed, they can sit on top of other award cards. Green cards are placed in the remaining nine spaces and they can only be played if they match adjacent green cards in flower type or colour (symbols in the top left corner of green cards). So, a red rose could be placed adjacent to a red lily and/or a purple rose, for example. Certain green cards have their own abilities, such as structures and lawns, as well as scoring potential. Winning the Village Green Competition I would have liked some objective scoring to aim for as the only real player interaction comes from the drafting. In addition a Solo Mode would have been nice as it feels like it would be easy to integrate.

Explore Activity Village

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. This highly immersive board game is perfect for families or groups of 4-5 friends eager to spend quality time together. No two games are designed to be the same as players will have abundant choices when it comes to where they expand, who they trade with and which resources they decide to specialise in. As a result, the game offers an immense replay value while being fun and educational at the same time. At the end of a player’s turn they roll the Illagers die and perform the action depicted on it. This may move the Illagers one space forward or is blank and nothing happens. However, the rulebook could possibly have clarified some of the award cards and been a little clearer in places. My major grumble is with the yellow flowers. The three flower types are hard to make out in this colour. We found ourselves looking at the symbols behind the yellow flowers to work out which type they were.
