Step into the land of the Fae and help them build a grand village before the great harvest!
In Fae Village, you and your building partner pass tiles to each other, gather resources from matching colors, and construct the buildings that make a village work.
This family-weight gateway game is a great way to introduce new gamers to euro mechanics like resource management and contract fulfillment, along with cooperative play and deduction.

How to play
You each have just 7 turns to build every building on the table.
1. Pass a tile
The player with the Hammer token picks a tile from their hand and passes it face down to their partner, along with the Hammer, saying out loud one resource the tile is NOT.
2. Place it
Your partner places the tile next to any tile in play, flips it and rotates it. Matching color groups pay out one resource cube per icon. No matching connections? No resources. Tough luck!
3. Build
Spend cubes to build one of the three buildings on offer. Flip a tile to its grass side and put the building there. Keep the card: its one-time ability is yours to use at any time.
15–25 minutes to play a game
Setup is six steps. A full village fits in a lunch break.
You win or lose together
No takebacks, no table talk. Just the two of you reading each other.
Communication
This game is about vibing. No hints, no clues, no gestures, no sounds, except to say what a tile is not. You may, however, discuss abilities as needed.
Three difficulties
Easy mode plays with 5 Building cards, Medium with 7, and Hard mode with all 10. Build them all before the tiles run out and you both win.
