About the game
Village Inn, the first expansion for the award-winning game Village, adds two new buildings to the village: the brewery and the inn. The brewery is a new craft building where you can acquire a new good: beer. In the inn, you can meet a lot of influential people (in the form of cards), and you can acquire these villager cards by spending beer/coins and time. Each villager card has a unique ability that can be used once per game, giving either points and advantages during the game or additional points at the end of the game for certain achievements. In addition, Village Inn includes all necessary components for a fifth player.

Questions and answers
Village: Inn supports 2–5 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 Village: Inn is 60–120 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 Village: Inn for ages 12 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.
Village: Inn has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Village: Inn belongs to these categories: Medieval, Farming, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Set Collection, Open Drafting, and Worker Placement. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Village: Inn are: Inka Brand and Markus Brand. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Village: Inn as an expansion for Village. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Village to use it. Check that your edition of Village is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
