Learn Village: Big Box
Learn the game in 5 short steps. Everything links to the full rules.
The family’s reputation
Earn prestige through careers, customers and the chronicle. Time passes as you act; older generations eventually die.
Choose a cube
Take influence to keep, or a plague cube to return at a cost of two time. Then choose whether to use the area’s action; Market is mandatory.
Build a career
Produce goods, visit towns, serve customers or place villagers in the church and council. Pay every required cost.
Cross the quill
Finish your action, then lose an oldest eligible villager if your time marker crossed the quill. During Market resolve death immediately. Its profession determines its chronicle category.
Finish the story
A full chronicle or graveyard triggers final turns, then final Mass and scoring. Count customers, surviving church/council villagers, travelled towns, chronicle villagers and coins.
