Game pageDorfromantik: the pleasure of finding room for one more tile
A forest edge fits, and a small landscape grows. Players find pleasure in discovering the right place for the next tile.
Build a pleasing landscape or refine placements for a higher score: reviewers enjoy choosing how to approach the same tiles.
What makes it fun
Matching edges grow the map
Rotate a tile to join forest to forest or village to village. A good fit extends the landscape and earns points according to how well the edges match.
Quests keep the map growing
Extend the groups of houses, tracks, or other features a Quest calls for. Completing it replenishes your tiles, giving you more landscape to build.
Score or scenery?
Do you match edges for points or place a tile where the landscape looks right? That choice gradually shapes the whole map.
