About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game enthusiasts! Ready to spice up your base game of My Village? The 'Vagrants Expansion' is here to add some extra flavor to your village! This little gem, originally from the 2016 Easter Basket, brings some fresh components to give your game a special touch. It includes 4 vagrant tiles (yes, they need a place in the sun too!) and 1 itinerant preacher tile, which is sure to stir things up in the community.

With these additions, we're layering in more strategy and interaction. The vagrants can bring new opportunities or challenges, depending on how you manage them, while the preacher might change the course of certain actions with their visit. It's the kind of expansion that doesn't completely flip the game on its head but adds that extra zest that My Village fans adore.

If you enjoy the vibe of My Village, with its mix of dice rolling and decision-making, this expansion is a perfect fit. It maintains the essence of the original game but introduces elements that might make you rethink your moves. There's no language dependency, so just open it up and play! It's ideal for those looking to extend the lifespan of the base game and explore new tactics.
