Will you take on challenges or hire help, develop your town or command its heroes? Your strategies, risks, and fortune can transform your village into a thriving city or forgotten ruins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverview:\u003cbr\u003eVillagers and Villains is a card game with over 100 unique cards. The game is played over several rounds. Each round has 6 distinct Phases. During each Phase, all players (Mayors) have a chance to take specific actions. The Mayor who builds the most successful village wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame play: \u003cbr\u003eVillagers and Villains is a building game. In the 1st phase players recruit cards from a common pool neutral to all players. 4 classes of cards could appear in the pool: Challenges, citizens, buildings, and heroes. Each card has different game play applications and different effects on end scoring. In the 2nd phase each player has a chance to defend their town from challenges. In the 3rd phase challenges loot towns left unprotected. The 4th phase is when each town earns money. In the 5th phase money can be spent to expand a town by hiring heroes and citizens or creating buildings. The final phase resets the board for a new round of phases. The starting player changes and rounds continue until a town reaches a fixed size. At that time the game is scored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoal:\u003cbr\u003eIn the end each town is scored based on a variety of facets and features. Players have to assess which facet will score the most points as the game is played--and circumstances dictate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures: \u003cbr\u003eThe game ships with a basic and advanced version for experienced and novice gamers and special 2-player game rules. In the advanced game players gain access to the king's favor, special card powers, and pairing options for final scoring. In addition, the home site offers a variety of rules variations for added game play. While chance plays a part in the game (via a die-roll for certain elements) choices in recruiting, and how to use town's abilities and resources play a large role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game includes:\u003cbr\u003e100 different playing cards (challenges, citizens, heroes, buildings)\u003cbr\u003e10 starting cards (5 citizens, 5 angry mobs)\u003cbr\u003ea die\u003cbr\u003e1 kings favor token\u003cbr\u003e1 start marker\u003cbr\u003e1 score pad\u003cbr\u003e2 punch-out sheets of gold coin tokens\u003cbr\u003erules sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio 9 Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":926556457,"sku":"S9G10004","price":16.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Villagers_Villains.jpg?v=1578608949","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/villagers-villains","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
