About the game
The clans of Gnomeland compete to achieve wealth and glory. Unfortunately, gnomes are messy and unpredictable. A good gnome leader should manage the clan and improve the village in order to prevail over the opponents and become the most important of Gnomeland. Each turn in Gnomeland, players can match dice results with the buildings of their villages. By doing this, players can collect resources that can be spent in order to recruit soldiers, build new buildings, and complete missions. After five game rounds, the player with the most victory points wins. ••• I diversi clan del Paese di Gnomeland si sfidano per raggiungere ricchezze e gloria. Tuttavia gli gnomi sono creature confusionarie e imprevedibili. Un buon capo dovrà saper gestire i propri gnomi e far crescere il proprio villaggio, così da prevalere sugli altri e diventare il più importante di Gnomeland! I giocatori, dopo aver lanciato i dadi, potranno abbinare i risultati ottenuti agli edifici presenti nel proprio villaggio. In questo modo sarà possibile accumulare risorse da spendere per assoldare mercenari, costruire nuovi edifici più potenti e svolgere missioni. Alla fine di 5 round chi avrà ottenuto più punti vittoria sarà il campione.

Questions and answers
Gnomeland supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Gnomeland is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Gnomeland for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Gnomeland has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
