About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoy the vibe of the game Village, get ready for another dose of community development in My Village! Here, each player takes full control of their own village, charting the fate of its inhabitants. While it brings back familiar elements like the life-time track and the village chronicle, My Village introduces a brand-new dynamic with a dice system that changes how you plan your actions. It's like revisiting a beloved place, but with a surprising twist that makes it fresh and exciting.

The game unfolds with each player managing their own village and its five citizens. Each round, the active player rolls the dice, and then everyone at the table, in turn order, uses these dice to acquire new buildings, hire people, or perform other important actions. The catch is that each action consumes time, and black dice add an extra time cost. Just like in the original game, a time marker advances, and when it completes a lap, someone in the village dies. This mechanic adds a strategic layer, as certain actions depend on specific citizens, and their demise can close off certain options. The beauty lies in balancing the village's progress with time management and the survival of its inhabitants, all while adapting to dice rolls and opponents' choices. It's a game that demands planning, but with room to adapt to the twists and turns the dice bring.
