Description
A new chapter opens in the Village chronicles! In this standalone game, each player is in charge of his very own village, controlling its entire fate. Known places and characters conjoin with new mechanisms to make up a gaming experience that feels so familiar and is yet so different from Village!
Village enthusiasts will recognize some core elements, for example, the life-time track and the village chronicle, yet the new dice mechanism gives a whole new twist and dynamic to taking actions. My Village is of similar game weight as Village.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — Players choose actions each turn by selecting dice from a pool to activate banners and resolve card effects.
- Area Control — Markers are placed on available spaces on craft buildings and council chambers, which can be used to produce goods or provide scoring opportunities.
- card drafting — Players can acquire cards from a central display, such as customer cards and travel cards, by meeting specific requirements.
- Dice rolling and assignment — Players roll dice and combine their values to activate banners and actions on cards or player boards. Dice values can be modified using coins or discarding markers from a meeting place.
- End game trigger — The game ends at the conclusion of a round where the total number of deceased villagers reaches a certain threshold based on the player count.
- Resource management — Players manage resources like coins, time, goods (e.g., horses, plows), and villagers.
- set collection — Players collect cards such as customers, travel cards, and monks, which contribute to end-game scoring or provide benefits.
- Victory Points — The game is won by accumulating the most victory points, which are gained through various means like collecting story points, serving customers, and completing sets of buildings.
- worker placement — Placing villagers on profession spaces is often required to activate or gain cards associated with those professions.
