Villagers: Shifting Seasons

About this expansion

Villagers: Shifting Seasons is a 2022 expansion for the Villagers base game, supporting games for 1–5 players. It introduces new modules, cards, and official rules that bring greater variety, more opportunities, and even more crucial decisions to village development.

As the year progresses, traditions, visitors, and events create new possibilities for business and expansion. Event cards offer new actions and scoring opportunities for all players, adding fresh considerations to each game.

Powerful new Special villagers, including the Engineer, Inventor, and Merchant, provide rule-bending abilities. Teams are another new villager type: they can be recruited at any time to add an extra food or build icon.

• Event cards: New actions and scoring opportunities available to all players.
• Special villagers: New abilities from characters such as the Engineer, Inventor, and Merchant.
• New villager suit: Enables longer games at four and five players, or can replace the Grapes suit to vary any game.
• Teams: Flexible recruits that add an extra food or build icon.
• Monastery Solo Mode: A more relaxed way to play alone.

Shifting Seasons adds enough new cards and official rules for games to last an extra round on average, giving players the opportunity to build even bigger and better villages. The new suit can extend larger-player games, while also offering a way to mix up other sessions by replacing Grapes.

With modular additions and a dedicated solo option, Villagers: Shifting Seasons expands the possibilities of the base game while giving players new ways to plan, recruit, score, and grow.
