Little Town

Place workers to scoop resources from all eight neighbouring squares, then build a town others must pay to use.

A gentle worker-placement game where you place builders on a grid and collect resources from all eight surrounding squares at once. Use those resources to construct buildings, then earn from them, but beware: stepping next to a rival's building means paying them a coin first.

Who it's for

Families and newer gamers who want a real worker-placement experience with satisfying board positioning and a short runtime.

Not for you if…

You want deep, cutthroat euro strategy or heavy interaction. Experienced players may find it a touch light and the building set-up a little samey over repeat plays.

Vibe's take

A friendly spatial puzzle where a single clever placement can grab a whole corner of the board.
