Village - Boardgames4K Review - Still Worth It?

Join us as we take a look at the Euro style worker placement game Village.

This was the very first Euro game my wife and I bought and played. It still holds up for us, nostalgia aside.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Have you played with the expansions?

[@scyldscefing3913]

@@BoardGameBollocks I haven't. I have one of them. I think I just figured out what I'm doing this weekend.

It’s not the same designer, but the board looks a lot like the Helios board. Great review; your Chanel is my favorite.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Cheers mate. We almost picked up Helios a few years back when it was going for peanuts. Is it any good?

[@stevebrown5253]

BoardGames4K I like it, but haven’t played it much. Our group has so many favorites it’s hard to get table time for a new game. Comments on BGG say it can get stale once you find the best strategy, but I’m not there yet. Normal price here is $50, I got it for $13 so no regrets. Cheers, Steve.

Just bought this with both expansions...will probably get to it around Christmas time. Hopefully the issues are resolved with the expansions, but from everything that I see this was a great buy.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Lucky you for finding the expansions. I don’t usually suffer from envy but on this occasion...

[@vinclash7763]

Oi!! Yes!! More Bullocks!! 💪😄👍❤️

Statham! Review chutes and ladders next, please.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

It’s snakes and ladders over here, mate...what’s a chute?

[@barrybadranath]

haha ur right, i dunno why i typed it like that... actual question tho: have you played solenia?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

No mate. Any good?

[@barrybadranath]

@@BoardGameBollocks Dunno. Thinking of getting it.

[@nuuqbgg]

Please, do yourself a favour and play with expansions. They are amazing. Port makes traveling much more interesting, and Inn introduces characters that you can hire in the pub. Such a game changer. If one doesn't like the base game, expansions will not change their mind, but if you like it already, they make it perfect.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

We’d love to but they’re OOP at the mo...fingers crossed they’ll get reprinted.

[@garylangford6755]

They made a big box and it's back in print​@@BoardGameBollocks

[@danielmarlett1421]

I was able to grab a copy of this about a month ago. I really enjoy it but hunting down the expansions is going to be a chore.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

They get printed every so often. Just a matter of patience which is harder than usual when it’s games you’re waiting for 👍🏻

[@danielmarlett1421]

@@BoardGameBollocks I was finally able to acquire them. Was it worth it? Probably not but I've spent more on dumber things.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

It will go out of print eventually and become sought after so keep hold of them.

[@shineLouisShine]

​@@BoardGameBollocks...and then will get a new big box edition with different (and for my taste less pretty) art, but with both of the expansions and another opportunity for those who missed it, to give this (entire) creation a fair chance. Haven't tried it myself (just yet) though... Thanks for another great review!

[@leooshea8089]

Thank you for a tolerable board game video review.

[@chimster1234]

Dammit! I just burned $130 on Tapestry! I should've watched this first and saved a few bucks ;)
