About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game fans! If you enjoyed the base game Villagers and were eyeing those Kickstarter editions, get ready: this expansion pack brings a taste of what happened during that campaign! It includes four different modules that add more spice and variety to your games. We have the 'Scoundrels,' who arrive with 9 new villagers to shake things up in the settlement. The 'Saints' bring 5 new faces to your village, perhaps bringing more luck or divine challenges? The 'Profiteers' not only add 8 new villagers but also introduce a new way to score, making everything more strategic. And to top it off, the 'Developments' come with 12 building cards and 3 colored wooden tokens, opening up more avenues for you to accumulate points. This expansion is perfect for those who want to give their Villagers games a boost, adding more options and replayability without overcomplicating the rules. It's like upgrading your game with that special content only those who backed the project on Kickstarter had access to. If you enjoy managing your hand, doing some good drafting, and collecting the right sets, this expansion will make you even happier with Villagers!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base Villagers game to play with this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion pack, so the base Villagers game is essential to use the new cards and components.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion maintains the same player count as the base game, which is for 1 to 5 players.
Does the expansion make the game much more complicated?
It adds new options and an extra scoring mechanic, which might slightly increase complexity. However, for those already familiar with the base game, the adaptation is quite smooth.
What are the main components included in this pack?
You'll find new villagers (in the Scoundrels, Saints, and Profiteers expansions), building cards (Developments), and colored wooden tokens.
Was this expansion released in campaigns other than Kickstarter?
Originally, this pack was an exclusive item from the Villagers Kickstarter edition. It might be difficult to find outside of that context.
Is it worth it for solo players?
Yes! The new cards and mechanics add more variety and interesting challenges even for those who prefer to play Villagers solo.
