After playing 100 games on BGA, I've come to the conclusion that this is an excellent game. It's a lot less solitaire than it appears, and the game has some strange and surprising nuances that appear once you really KNOW all the cards. In a world full of "take and make" games, this is one of the very best.

Villagers
In Villagers, you become the founder of a village in the aftermath of a great plague. Choose wisely who to welcome, managing limited resources to thrive. A strategic game for 1-5 players, lasting about 30 minutes.
- 170 cards (56.0mmx87.0mm)
The roads are full of refugees seeking a new beginning. They come to you, hoping to settle down on your land and make a living. Your grain farm is the ideal starting point for a village, reliably providing food for many people. You must choose wisely who you allow to settle with you, as your food and resources are limited.
The people on the road have valuable and unique skills, but they all in turn rely on other people with very specific crafts to be able to work. Raw materials, tools and services must be provided by other people from the road.
If you manage to find people that can work together to make a profit, while increasing your food surplus and capacity for building new houses, your village will be prosperous.
The game comes with a solo mode where a lone village strives to prosper in spite of the dreaded Countess and her evil machinations.

THE most beautiful game I own. It's so wonderfully designed, both from a gameplay perspective and a storage one. It contains all that is required to play a 2 player game, 3 or more players, and has a solo variant. If you buy one game this year, make it Villagers.
Juego muy divertido y no muy complicado de entender. He jugado en mayor medida en solitario y es un vicio. Me parece muy buen automa, que unas veces te gana de una forma muy humillante y otras es al contrario.
I joined the kickstarter for this game because it looked like a Euro style game that I would enjoy. A few friends and family played it with me, and they aren't normally board game people, but we all had a great time. The mechanics were solid, not overly complex, and deep. Solid game, and I'm very impressed with it.
I have played this multiple times with varying amounts of people, and every single game is full of laughter and strategy!
