A new land has been discovered! As the ruler of your own tiny kingdom, this is your big chance to expand your territory and (more importantly) make some serious gold. But the rulers of the other nearby kingdoms have also learned of this new land, and they're gathering their troops for battle! Prepare for all-out war as you try to build bigger villages than your neighbors... no matter what it takes!
Villages is a rummy-style card game for 2 to 5 players. The rules are simple--collect 3 or more cards of the same color and lay them down to build a village. Build bigger villages than everyone else to earn more gold!
But not everybody likes to play nice. If another player's village contains a card you'd like to have, you can fight them for it in a one-on-one duel. Each of the 20 different unit types has its own strengths and weaknesses, so a knowledge of each unit's unique abilities (and a little bit of luck) is crucial to winning the battle and taking home the prize.
How you decide to play is up to you, but one thing is clear: the only way to send your rivals packing is to be the first to earn 100 gold coins. Do you have what it takes to rule an empire?
Each deck of Villages cards includes 72 game cards, 1 High Score card, 1 Low Score card, 5 reference cards, and a rule booklet.
Thanks for visiting and supporting Villages! I'd love to hear your feedback. Please review the game below if you've played it before and have something to share.

Great game, lots of fun. Love the artwork.
Honestly one of the most fun card games I’ve ever played. Everyone should have this game in their collection!
Fun little casual game. I can't wait for the crystal quest expansion! I've playtested it with the creator and would bump the experience up by a star.
Very fun kind of a lot of money though.
Love the game and it's art. The components are excellent quality and I wish I could play as much as I wanted. My only complaint is the box, too small for sleeved cards. Can't recommend this awesome ...
It's a fun game, but incredibly basic. Great for casual table top gamers, but not enough substance for everyone else. Easy to look at.
‘Villages’ is essentially a set collection game, much like ‘Rummy’ or ‘Mahjong’. The goal is to score as many points as possible, by building and growing ‘villages’ of different colours. Cards come in...

Got to play a couple of games of this with my family. Found it played just fine with six players, and exceptionally well when playing with teams. Deceptively complex strategies show up in this "Rummy ...

Me, my brother, and a friend of ours have played this several times, I purchased it first and now the friend has purchased the base and expansion as I did. We all love it, its simplicity doesnt take a...
This game deserves all the attention it is getting, the rules are easy to understand, the art is ingenious, the price is good and the fact that you must play multiple rounds for a full game and it doe...
I played this for the first time with my small game group today on my lunch break. It took about 2 short rounds before we all really knew what we were doing and aiming for, but once it kicked in, it w...
This game is truly enjoyable. It was my first game to buy off this site and I must say I had a lot of fun playing it. The rules are simple, the characters are fun to look at and its just fast paced en...
Seeing a card game with an 8 bit-esque style is almost heartwarming (if you've grown up with a nintendo). Play is easy to pick up and fun. Holds attention of younger players better than games like ru...
Villages is a cross between World of Warcraft and Rummy, and somehow those two mix very well apparently.The game play is simple to learn, and very fast to play after a round or two. Art is 8 bit, whi...
Fun, compact game. I love the fact that it is just cards making it very easy to take around. It has elements of rummy, Munchkin, and Magic all rolled into one. The artwork if fun and very functional. ...
Best card game I've played in a long while, possibly the best card game of all time. Can't wait for an expansion set.
Wow! I can't say enough great things about this game! The artwork is fantastic, the game play is fun - finding a nice balance between strategy, simplicity, and complexity - I keep coming back for mo...
This game combines the classic cardplay style of most games with a little bit of Pokemon. The rules are simple and straightforward, but the strategies employed to win are complex enough to have great...
Villages is fun and easy to learn to play. Even my eight-year-old niece picked it up on the first try. But after you've played it for a while, the possible strategies can be pretty complex, which keep...
