In OddVille, you and your friends are hired to shape a peculiar city, home to four powerful worker guilds. The goal is simple: build the most impressive city, gaining power and fame, while trying to thwart your rivals' plans. The game is a strategic race where each player uses their four Worker cards to perform crucial actions: acquire building projects, collect resources (wood, bricks, stones, crystals), or gather coins. The trick is that each card has a unique power and can be used in different ways, so knowing the right time to play each one is key to success.

On your turn, you can choose between playing one of these Worker cards or adding a new building to the city. When building, you connect your new building to existing ones with roads, activating valuable bonuses. The city grows dynamically, and the value of your buildings can change as other players build. Want an extra boost? Impress a guild, and one of its members will visit you, offering temporary help. But beware: these members are loyal to the guild and can be recalled at any moment, especially if an opponent 'inspires' that guild meeting at the worst possible time for you! The game ends as soon as a player builds their sixth building, and whoever has the most victory points takes the glory of having shaped OddVille.
