It feels good to help, right?

Our Village is a card game where you work to build up a community. From a simple well all the way up to schools, improve your little patch of the world by collecting resources and using them to grow your village.

If you don't have the resources you need to build, and can't draw it from the deck, feel free to ask your neighbours, the other players, for help. Of course, it's good to share so if they give you something you need to return the favour with a resource card from your hand.

We like the engine building aspect of the game, and how you can upgrade your buildings as you go along instead of having to pay the full cost outright. It lets you start small and work towards those bigger buildings.

The sharing didn't come into play as much as we'd expected at two players. We managed to build with just what we drew for the most part, but it's good to have the option and it might change with more players.

It plays in about 15 minutes and could be a good way to teach younger players about sharing, as well as about basic community needs.
