You’ve discovered a new island – it’s time to build your first settlement! In this fun card game, you’ll plan cleverly how to add buildings and fields to your settlement, trade cards at the market, and score as many points as possible. Each card type scores differently, so strategy, good timing, and a bit of merchant’s luck thanks to merchant cards make all the difference.
“Pierwsza osada” is a fresh card game about building your own island settlement. Each turn you draw two cards: you add one to your settlement right away, and you swap the other for a card from the market – which you then also add to your personal tableau. This keeps you constantly balancing what you need now with what will help you score at the end.
Develop the island step by step: the farmer values huts and fields, a mill can come in handy too, and watchtowers will keep an eye on safety. When merchants visit your island, you get a chance at valuable bonus points. The game ends when each player has formed a square of 16 cards – and the winner is the one who planned their settlement most efficiently.
Why you’ll love it:
- Simple rules and quick turns
- Strategic scoring – each card type brings different advantages
- The market and card swapping add tension and tactics
- Merchants as a source of bonus points
