Description:

You are the mayor of a tiny town in the forest in which the smaller creatures of the woods have created a civilization hidden away from predators.

This new land is small and the resources are scarce, so you take what you can get and never say no to building materials.

Cleverly plan and construct a thriving town, and don't let it fill up with wasted resources! Whoever builds the most prosperous tiny town wins!

In Tiny Towns, your town is represented by a 4x4 grid on which you will place resource cubes in specific layouts to construct buildings. Each building scores victory points (VPs) in a unique way.

When no player can place any more resources or construct any buildings, the game ends, and any squares without a building are worth -1 VP. The player with the most VP wins!

In Tiny Towns: Fortune, the creatures of the forest have found a way to trick each other into thinking shiny bits of metal have arbitrary value . It's very useful-so much so that you can use this thing called "money" to get other creatures to give you almost anything in return for the right number of shiny bits. If only earning money weren't so difficult!

These shiny bits are called Quercs, but for some reason everyone always ends up calling them "coins". When the creatures of the forest ran out of space and began digging into the hills to make room, they came across a fairly useless metal. …
