A beautifully-illustrated, 1-5 player tableau-building card game designed by award-winning designer Peer Sylvester. It’s the first day of spring, and there’s only one thing on everyone’s mind – the Village Green of the Year competition! In just a few months, the judges of this prestigious contest will be visiting, and the village council have finally put you in charge of the preparations. With your newfound authority, you can show those snobs from Lower Aynesmore just what a properly orchestrated floral arrangement looks like! In VillageGreen you are rival gardeners, tasked by your respective communities with arranging flowers, planting trees, commissioning statues, and building ponds. You must place each element carefully – time is tight and the stakes couldn’t be higher! Split your days between acquiring and installing new features for your green and nominating it for one of the competition’s many awards. Will your village green become the local laughing stock, or make the neighbouring villages green with envy? Players: 1-5 Playing Time: 30 minutes Ages: 14+ Contents: 96 cards

I think Village Green is the best game I've played all year [...] It's a box of knotty decisions, exquisite compromises and knowing when to pivot in order to maximise your points based on how the cards are falling at that time. -- Andrew Holmes * Meeple Mountain *
