## Description
Tiny Towns places you in the role of mayor of a hidden forest village, where survival hinges on smart planning and efficient use of resources. Instead of large boards, the game uses a simple 4x4 grid, but it brings plenty of strategy: each square can hold resource cubes that, when arranged in specific patterns, build unique structures. Each building type scores in its own way, so placing each cube correctly is everything. The “Follow” mechanic forces you to watch other players’ moves, as some actions depend on the order cubes are placed. Player elimination occurs when someone runs out of options, raising the stakes in the final rounds. The game ends when no more moves are possible; empty squares are worth -1 point, so grid coverage is essential. Tiny Towns blends city‑building, pattern‑building, and end‑game bonuses into a compact, accessible package. The pace is quick, 45‑60 minutes, with a gentle learning curve, making it great for both beginners and veterans seeking a logic challenge in a few minutes. If you enjoy abstract strategy with a humorous animal twist, you’ll have a blast!
