About the game
Prepare for an epic castle battle in Village Attacks! Here, you and your friends aren't the usual heroes, but rather the most feared monsters from global folklore. Just imagine: an imposing castle, your dwelling for legendary creatures, under siege by the villagers! Yes, they've decided enough is enough with the evil and are determined to banish all villains. But don't be fooled, these villagers aren't alone. Heroes and hunters from all corners of the globe have heard of your presence and are coming after you, whether for fame, glory, or a hefty reward. Their goal is singular: your doom!

Village Attacks is a cooperative game where you, as a team of monsters, must defend your castle at all costs. Each player takes on the role of an iconic creature, each with their unique powers, ensuring plenty of variety and strategy when devising your defense plan. The modular board guarantees a different setup each game, and dice rolling adds that spice of luck (or misfortune!) to the battles. It's a game that demands communication and teamwork to repel the waves of invaders coming from all sides. If you enjoy cooperative games with a fun theme and a touch of 'villains in action,' this is a great choice. Oh, and it also features a solo mode for those who like to play as a lone monster!
