Hamlet: The Village Building Game

Hamlet is a medium-heavy competitive village building game in which players collectively transform their Hamlet into a bustling town. In this tile placing game, players construct buildings that everyone can use to make materials, refine resources, earn money and make important supplies for the construction of Hamlet's major landmark - the church. The game features irregularly shaped tiles that are connected without a grid to form a village that is completely different each time. The placement of the tiles organically creates interconnected paths that villagers use to transport resources through the village. This leads to players building boards where no two games will ever feel the same. Because the buildings are communal, this also creates a fluid economy, in which the players are always working hard to provide the village with the resources it needs most.

The game was designed by David Chircop (Petrichor, The Pursuit of Happiness). It is published by award-winning studio Mighty Boards (Excavation Earth, Posthuman Saga). Includes solo mode by Nick Shaw & Dávid Turczi
