LET THE CHURCH IN THE VILLAGE - A strategy game

In the strategy game "Keep the Church in the Village" by Gerhards Spiel und Design, strategy, foresight, and flexible planning take center stage. The game board starts empty – only the pastor waits in the center for his congregation. But he needs a church, and the church, in turn, needs a vibrant village. That's the key: Who will be the first to successfully build their village with a church?

Players take turns strategically placing their buildings on the game board. After each move, the placed building is rotated 90 degrees – a small but crucial rule that constantly challenges strategic thinking. With each rotation, the direction of movement changes, and what was just an advantage can quickly become an obstacle. The opponent uses every opportunity to block or cut off routes.

Luck and tactical skill go hand in hand here: A rash move can bring your village to a standstill, but those who plan wisely benefit from surprising twists and turns. And if you ever get stuck, the priest can help – he can swap the position of any game piece and thus clear the way.

"Keep the Church in the Village" impresses with high-quality wooden components, clear rules, and surprisingly deep gameplay. Designed for two players, the game lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes – ideal for those who love tactical duels with original mechanics. A charming blend of logic, planning, and humor, where every game unfolds differently.
