Village Pillage

About this board game

Village Pillage is a simultaneous-play card game for 2–5 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. Protect your borders, attack your neighbors, and be the first player to collect three relics.

Each round, every player secretly chooses two cards from their hand. They play one card against each neighbor, then all cards are revealed at once. This creates action on all fronts as players resolve their choices in a set order: Farmers, Walls, Raiders, Merchants.

• Farmers produce turnips.
• Walls block Raiders.
• Raiders steal turnips.
• Merchants add new cards to your hand or help you purchase a relic.

Every card returns to its owner’s hand after resolution, so each round gives you another chance to anticipate your neighbors and choose the right response. Decide whether to build your resources, protect your borders, raid an opponent, or use a Merchant to expand your options.

In Village Pillage, timing and simultaneous decisions keep every turn active. Farmers, Walls, Raiders, and Merchants all matter, and the resolution order shapes how your plans unfold. The game ends as soon as any one player has three royal relics, making every purchase and every stolen turnip part of the race to victory.
