Village Port

village residents on the high seas

In the second expansion for Village you have your own ship, hire captains, sell goods and bring home exotic good, you send family members as missionaries to islands and dig up treasure chests. The Sea Voyage board replaces the Travel board on the core board, each player gets a ship and a ship tile.

The rules of the core game apply, with changes for Travel and Market actions. In the action Market a day stays the same, but you can now sell basket of cocoa or tea bales that you unloaded before.

The action Travel is completely different from travels in the core game. You can either leave the harbor, continue your sea voyage or sail into harbor. To leave the harbor you must hire a captain, load up the ship and move the ship. This movement is also applied to the action Continue Sea Voyage. If you sail into harbor, you pay one Time unit and unload the ship, the current captain is discarded.

When a family member passes away while in the Mission Church or on the Ship tile, he is placed into the travel section of the Village Chronicle or is buried on the High Seas. End-of-game is now also triggered when the last sea burial space is filled.

Life Goals is a small expansion which introduces silver and gold life goals into the game which do not change any rules but score points when you meet their requirements at the end of the game.

Village Port and Life Goals can be combined any way with the core game and with the expansion Village Inn.

Nice and well-made, the expansions fits well with the core game, also as regards to the topic, and is very well-working as to game mechanics. If you like expansion, you will be pleased with this one!
