|
Villagers Shifting Seasons Kickstarter Edition includes a free Kickstarter stretch goal pack with 19 extra cards inside every expansion box. Each expansion will feature a "Kickstarter Edition" sticker on the shrink.
Villagers launched on Kickstarter in 2018 and got out of hand quite quickly, finishing its run just shy of 14,000 backers.
The game itself is a bright & breezy affair where players draft from a changing pool of beautifully illustrated villager cards with the aim of building the most prosperous village by the end of the game.
With its lovable cast of characters, many paths to victory, ease of teaching, and great production values, Villagers has become a firm favorite on gaming tables around the world.
Production chains are the heart of the game!You can download the base game rules here, and we got none other than Rodney Smith to create one of his famous "Watch It Played" videos so you don't even need to open the rulebook!
Learn to play the Villagers base game from the best in the business!And if you only have 60 seconds to spare, the incredible Sarah Shah has you covered!
High in content, low in oxygen!Villagers has been reprinted several times, and translated into 11 different languages by our international publishing partners, including Kosmos, Gigamic, and CMON. All of this was made possible by the incredible support of our Kickstarter backers, and we can never thank you enough!
Accolades for Villagers
And now, we hope you'll join us once more as the universe of Villagers expands...
Shifting Seasons is an expansion that adds more of what players love about Villagers, plus some new surprises. It offers wider variety and more scoring opportunities, and increases game length by one round on average, giving players more time to create the perfect village. Additional rules are kept to a minimum, with everything easily integrating with the base game and previous expansion.
Yes! But, if you sleeve your cards and want to keep them all in the base game box, and you have the Coin Chest, then you'll have to keep the Coin Chest separately. It is intended to be used with other games anyway, so let it live on a shelf where it's easy to reach!
Each addition to the game is represented in the cover art. How clever!Shifting Seasons adds several new modules to the game that you can include or exclude as you wish, but we think you'll want to use it all!
Four Event cards are placed during setup - they go under the stacks on the road that don't have a market card. They will trigger in order throughout the game as the stacks above them are emptied, giving all players bonus actions and scoring opportunities.
Each game uses four of twelve Event cards, so there are lots of potential combinations.
A set of five cards featuring a Builder Team on one side and a Harvest Team on the other. By discarding two cards back to the road, players can recruit a team of their choice to help expand their villages, but each village is only allowed one Team!
Teams can make up for a lack of food or builders, but they come at a cost.
Prepare for the arrival of seven unique Special villagers with powerful rule-bending abilities, including the Leader, the Inventor, and the Tentmaker. They're so strong, there's only one of each, so use them wisely!
Powerful and unique Special villagers offer amazing opportunities.
A whole new suit of cards with Clay as the base resource, allowing for fresh opportunities and longer games.
The Clay suit has a Silver villager and its own unlocker, the Oven Maker, making it worth specialising in.
This is a new way to play Villagers with just one player. The Monastery is a simpler and more relaxing alternative to the intense Countess mode included in the base game.
Monastery mode comes with a cute bee token to track turns :D
