Tiny Towns: Villagers

A villager cannot end a round on a square with a resource, and two villagers cannot occupy the same square. If a resource is used to build a building on that same square, the villager can stay and work there; otherwise, a villager sharing a square with a resource must move at round’s end (page 2).

Move the villager to an orthogonally adjacent empty square if possible; otherwise, put it on your Lodge board. During Cleanup, try to move each villager from your Lodge board to an empty square on your town grid; any that still don’t fit stay there (page 2).

Unless the card says otherwise, you may activate an ability after that round’s resource is placed by sending the required number of villagers working in buildings to your Lodge board. You may use abilities multiple times in a turn, but you can’t activate more than one ability while constructing a single building (page 2).

No. A square with a villager but no building counts as empty for building abilities and villager abilities, and for scoring at game end (pages 2–3).

Yes, if that building was placed there through a building, monument, or villager ability rather than constructed using resources: the villager must move at round’s end to an adjacent empty square or to your Lodge board. If you replace a building with a villager working in it using Renovate, the villager stays in the new building (pages 2–3).
