About the game

What you do in a play session

Village: Port is the expansion that takes your village to the sea – literally! With the new port board, you can hire captains, set up ships, and embark on trade and exploration missions. The Pick‑up and Deliver mechanic comes into play when you gather goods in your village and load them onto a ship, then deliver them to distant ports. Each voyage requires planning: choose the shortest route, but don’t forget weather conditions that can delay your crew. Point‑to‑Point Movement makes every step on the sea route strategic – a simple choice can cost you dearly if you miss a chance to negotiate a valuable item. Worker Placement remains strong: each family member has distinct skills, and you must decide who goes on the trade mission, who hunts for treasure, or who stays in the village tending the farm. Additionally, the expansion introduces Life‑Goal cards, letting your character pursue alternate careers – from writer to knight – while keeping the village thriving. If you already play Village, Village: Port adds a new layer of depth and adventure, turning simple farm life into a full‑blown maritime expedition. Ninety minutes of playtime ensure you won’t get bored, and the ability to combine with Village: Inn opens even more expansion possibilities.
