About the game

What is Village Pillage?

Protect your borders, attack your neighbors, and be the first to collect three turnip relics! Village Pillage is a 2-5 player game for players 10 and up, featuring simultaneous play and action on all fronts. Each turn, players simultaneously choose two cards from their hand and play one against each neighbor. All cards are revealed at once, then resolved in order: Farmers, Walls, Raiders, Merchants. Farmers produce turnips, Walls block Raiders, Raiders steal turnips, and Merchants either add new cards to your hand or help you purchase a relic. All cards return to hand, and the next round begins! The game ends as soon as any one player has three royal relics.
