Minecraft Heroes of the Village

We defend the village against the Illagers. Each player selects an animal companion, all players together select one set of three buildings. If you are active you have two actions, even twice the same one, options are – Explore – collect blocks – fight monster – build. Then you must roll the Illager dice, they advance or stay. Moving your pawn is no action. To explore, you add a new tile to the display and put the indicated blocks into the bag. On tiles with a collect symbol, you can acquire wood, sand, or stone, draw three tiles and keep those corresponding to terrain or Redstone blocks. For a darkness block you put a monster token on the collect symbol. To fight a monster, you have up to three rolls of the combat die; for an Illager result the either advance or retreat one step. Building happens in the village, you add blocks to buildings, even darkness blocks. When all buildings are built, before the Illagers reach the village, the game is won by all.

Collecting and building game for 2-4 players, ages 7
