Townies (2022)

Overview

Townies is a roll&write game, where each player will be developing a plan of a small and modern town. They will design its blocks and buildings, trying to adjust to the carousel of different color markers and the ever-changing dice rolls. The one whose city will be the most comfortable to live in will win.

The game is played over a series of rounds. Each round, two Project dice are rolled, and each player, using the marker of their current color, must do one of the following:

Draw a Shape — Fill 4 spaces of their map with the rolled Shape (anywhere on the map, rotated or flipped, but not modified) Draw an Object and score VP for it — Attach an Object to a Block of the correlating color, according to either the rolled Object OR their current marker.

When everyone is done drawing either the rolled Shape or one of the two Objects, the markers are passed around the table, and a new round begins.

When anyone announces their 9th Object, the game is over. The player with the most VP wins.

The players can choose to play with any combination of Individual Goals, Additional Goals, and/or Bonuses that add even more tactical and strategical depth to the game.
