About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! You know that relaxing and award-winning video game, Dorfromantik, that makes us want to build the perfect village? Well, it got a board game version that's pure magic! In Dorfromantik: The Board Game, you and up to five friends team up to create a breathtaking rural landscape by placing hexagonal tiles. The goal is to fulfill the population's missions, like building really long rivers, roads that stretch across the map, and enclosing areas with flags to score points. The more harmonious and efficient your creation, the more points you all score at the end of the game.
But the fun doesn't stop there! The game comes with a super cool campaign mode. Each round, the points you accumulate can be used to unlock new tiles, which are kept in secret boxes. These tiles bring extra challenges and open up a range of new possibilities for you to raise your score even higher. The difficulty gradually increases in a way you barely notice, with new tasks that demand increasingly clever planning when placing tiles. And the best part: the campaign pad allows you to restart the adventure whenever you want, exploring different paths each time. Dorfromantik: The Board Game successfully transports that calm and engaging vibe of the video game to your table, making it a perfect family game to enjoy with friends and family, from 8 years old and up.
