Then there is a matter of time. What makes Village unique as a worker placement game is the concept of time and that as time passes workers die. Almost every action costs time and as time passes the earlier generations of the family pass on. The successful, those who die first in the right place, enter the Village Chronicle and become part of the history of the village, the unsuccessful are consigned to the grave and are forgotten. Village Rails players will score additional points for each of their lines that has a sidings on it with a massive 49 points available for anyone who has sidings on all 7 lines. Then players are awarded 1 point per 3 coins they have remaining. The player with the most points wins with ties broken by the most coins. Conclusion Each player also has a pet which offers a unique special power/ability. They are not groundbreaking but they do offer some variation and uniqueness to your character. There is also a decent supply of buildings, all of which require different resources to build. This keeps the game fresh.

Port – Adds shipbuilding and sailing the seas, and is fully compatible with Village Inn and the fiveplayer game. Each witch has access to the same number of starting familiars, the same ingredients, the same spells, and 3 Schemes of the same level. But the witch who most cleverly uses these resources to reach 13 points is named the village crone.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. At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt 1 of each of the 3 levels of Witch’s Scheme cards. Consulting their Books of Spells (which are the same for each witch) to determine which ingredients will be needed to cast the spells on their Witch’s Scheme cards, they put 1 familiar in the village green, take turns placing 2 additional familiars in other locations, and draw 2 ingredients from those locations. Similarly if the cube was taken from the Craft Area, then an action can be taken in the Craft Area where there are a number of different possible actions, but most of these are geared towards produce.

Of course that may mean playing it safe for a reasonable amount of points or risking it for a biscuit and more points. Village Green has excellent artwork and the theme is unusually but works well in a sort of semi humorous style. The changes for solo mode make for a tough puzzle while multiplayer enables ‘hate drafting’ opportunities - that is messing up someone else’s plans by deliberately taking cards they want. 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. The answer is the three terminus cards you start with. These also feature special conditions, such as the number of stations on the line, but they earn you cash rather than points. As ever there’s a catch and the clue is in the name: you can only play them on a finished line. So in addition to trying to balance the features on the line and trips you want to attach you’ve also got to keep one eye on cashing in a terminus card. There’s also a desperate pressure to rush and finish a low-scoring line just to enrich yourself. It can be worth it if you get the timing and priorities right, but that’s yet another balancing act to master. Game Play: Setting Up A Village and Playing Through Rounds (How long is a round? What should the players do during a round?) 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.The six characters in the base game can also provide variability – their powers vary a lot, especially once they start to level up. It can seem like some are more powerful than others, although this isn’t too concerning for me in a co-operative game. The levelling up certainly helps to keep the game changing throughout each scenario and is a definite must as the game starts to get overwhelming as you spawn more villagers.

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. Once all Village Rails players have placed their twelfth railway card final scoring can commence with the sidings and one point per three coins. The player with the most points wins and in the event of a tie the player with the most money wins. Final DestinationAt heart Village is a worker placement game, each player takes on the role of a family trying to become the most prominent in the village. Family members can work in various areas, at home in the farm, in the church, as a travelling merchant or craftsman, in the village hall, and there are also options to trade and to bring future generations into play. 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. 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. Your aim is simple: you’ve got to try and use the route cards to build high-scoring lines. Many cards have features that score points as soon as a line is finished, that is it runs from one edge of the grid to the other. A farm next to the line, for instance, scores one point for each different terrain type the line runs through whereas signals score depending on the total number of signals on the line, multiplying as you accumulate more.

You then have to assign that trip to one of your uncompleted lines. Each line can have a maximum of two trips assigned to it. To do this place it to the outside of your initial board alongside the line you wish it to score for. Completing A Line 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.
