Dorfromantik: The Board Game

Players cooperate to lay hexagonal terrain tiles and build a tranquil countryside made of rivers, forests, fields and villages. On each turn, players place tiles to complete local objectives: extend tracks and rivers, close off fields with flags, and fulfill public orders for points. Scoring depends on how well areas and tasks are completed by the end of the game. A short campaign links sessions together, letting the group spend earned points to unlock sealed boxes with new tiles and goals, increasing replayability and introducing additional challenges over multiple plays.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

Do we have to reveal Task tiles on our first turns, and what about later?

Yes. Reveal a Task tile on each of the first 3 turns. After that, reveal a Task tile whenever fewer than 3 Task tiles with markers are in play; otherwise reveal a Landscape tile. (Rulebook, pp. 2–3)

Can I place a tile wherever it fits, or do the edges have to match?

Every tile must touch the connected map along at least one edge. Track edges must match Track and Stream edges must match Stream; Forest, Grain, Village, and Meadow edges don’t have to match. (Rulebook, p. 3)

How many tiles do I need to complete a Task, and when do I move its marker?

The number on the Task marker is the exact size needed for its territory, Track, or Stream. Move the marker to your completed area as soon as that group reaches the required size. (Rulebook, pp. 3–4)

Can a group grow past the number on its Task marker, or get closed off before it’s complete?

You can’t place a Task tile if it would make the group larger than a marker requires, or close off a group before it reaches that marker’s required size. If a placement makes an existing marker impossible to complete, remove that marker and return it to the box; a placement can also complete multiple markers at once. (Rulebook, p. 4)

When does the game end, and do unfinished Task tiles still get played?

The game ends immediately when you must reveal a Landscape tile and none are left; any unrevealed Task tiles are not played. However, if the last Landscape tile completes or cancels a Task, keep revealing and placing Task tiles until no more Tasks can be completed or canceled. (Rulebook, p. 5)
