Villagers

Overview

The Game: Games are composed of a variable number of rounds where players first take turns drafting cards into their hands, and then go around the table playing cards into their tableaus. Cards have different symbols on them representing how many cards a player can draft, how many cards they can play, or how much money they generate during special income phases. There are only two income phases in the entire game, one approximately at the middle of the game's duration, and one at the very end. These two income phases are where the majority of players' money will be generated.

The Goal: To have the most money at the end (just like in real life).

Rounds

Each round consists of two basic phases:

1. Draft phase - one-at-a-time, players take turns selecting ("Drafting") face-up cards ("Villagers") from the 6 face-up cards (the "Road"), or face-down cards from the supply decks
2. Build phase - players play ("Build") cards into their tableaus ("Villages") to improve production chains or expand the number of available cards in their tableaus, both of which generally increase the number of cards they will draft (via "Food" symbols) in a round, the number of cards they may build (via "Builder" symbols) in a round, and/or the amount of money (via "Coin" symbols) they generate in the income phases (Markets)

Income

In addition to the two basic phases, there are two special events, the Markets, that happen after the Build phase of the round in which they are triggered. These two Markets are the main ways in which money (the central resource and victory point of the game) is generated:

1. First Market - occurs once the first and second road supply decks are emptied; during this Market, money is generated in two ways:
   1. players receive income equal to the sum of all gold symbol values visible on their cards
   2. players also receive income for all money placed on cards that have been used to unlock others (but the money itself on the cards is not removed at this time)
2. Second Market - occurs once all of the road supply decks have been emptied; during this Market, money is generated in three ways (two of which are basically the same as in the First Market):
   1. players receive income again equal the sum of all visible gold symbol values printed on cards
   2. additionally, players receive income for all visible silver symbol values (which are calculated based on other cards in their tableau)
   3. players also finally take all the money placed on unlocker cards off of those cards and into their money supply

After the Second Market is completed, the game is over: the player with the most money in their possession is the winner!
