Hamlet: The Village Building Game

felt like i fell into a big con buying this at the price as you only get a few cardboard cutouts some very small pieces in such a large box. the instructions you get do not tell you how to play the game very confusing, after following what instructions were enclosed getting set up was quite a task then there was another instruction sheet that then tells you to remove some of the things that the previous sheet had you set up and that's where it stops. We ended up going to the university of google there we found more instructions on the games website on how to play. so after trying to read the instructions from an android. and by the time we got part way through the trial set up 3 hrs or so the night was over my nieces and nephews are very disappointed. if i had only paid $20. it wouldn't have been so bad, but $69.14 plus tax. . we will try again next time i visit but i have a feeling that i will be returning this game.

This is a lovely game where you collectively build a hamlet together with the other players. It’s satisfying and fun to see how the little map develops, but it is also quite competitive. I enjoyed the thought and care that the creators put into making this game. This would be a great gift for folks who enjoy games like Cataan.

Super fun worker placement game. I like it a lot, however the rules aren't written very well/clearly (but if you're someone who regularly plays boardgames you've probably figure out by now that most game designers dont really know how to write rules at all). Also, dont watch the YT video for it. This has nothing to do with the game itself, but the top YT rules explanation video gets several, significant things wrong. They must have had an advanced copy.

Great Game!
