This neighborhood looks pleasant to outsiders, but is actually a place of rivalry and turf wars. Inside each home is a gnome household vying for control of the block! Each player controls several gnomes intent on battle for neighborhood control. You’ll pick out your gnomes, arm them, and fortify your yard to find out if you have what it takes to be the top gnome household.
The games start with recruitment of your gnomes. Every player chooses 2 gnomes from a selection board. Next players can add items to their gnomes, such as weapons and defense items, and yard items that apply to their whole household.
For you turn, you can either continue beefing up your gnomes and yard, choose new gnomes to join you, or choose an opponent to battle with your gnomes. In battle, you also have one-time use and action cards from your hand to surprise the enemy. The loser of each battle hands over a gnome. Whoever has the most defeated gnomes set aside at the end of the game wins the game.
