Village: Big Box — Prices

In Village: Big Box, you take on the role of a family seeking to prosper and leave their legacy in a medieval village. Life there isn't easy, but it offers various opportunities for each family member to forge their own path: one might become a friar, another might pursue politics, and a third might venture into distant lands. Time is relentless, and the only way to ensure your family's immortality is by being remembered in the village chronicles.

The core mechanic is worker placement where, each turn, you take a cube from a board area and perform the corresponding action. These areas include a market, travel locations, crafting workshops, the church, and the council house. Each location has different colored cubes, and some black cubes can bring curses. Actions vary: you can produce resources like oxen and horses, convert wheat into gold, or even pursue short, medium, or long-term scoring. The round ends when all cubes are taken, and the game concludes when the village chronicle or the graveyard is full.

The Big Box edition is a complete package, bringing together the Village base game, the Inn and Port expansions, all previously released promo packs, and a new 'Marriage' expansion. Furthermore, the game now features a solo mode, a larger double-sided main board, and dual-layered player boards, optimizing the experience and organization. It's a medium-heavy game, ideal for those who enjoy planning and watching their family grow and make their mark.
