About the game

What is Timber Town?

In Timber Town you are a beaver architect, constructing a new town on the riverbank using buildings sent drifting down the river. Timber Town is a "river drafting" game where players grab tiles from an ever changing board. Players place their tiles in their towns into the same column from which the tile was drafted from in an effort to match the objectives for that game. Different objectives are used between each game giving over 1000+ satisfying ways to score! —description from the publisher
