Description

The cover and name might have you thinking trivia game, but Matthias Cramer has something else in mind for you in Helvetia.

You and your fellow players run small but busy mountain villages in the Swiss Alps where you work, build and trade. But life isn’t only about work. Your village baker longs for a partner, and the farmer’s son has his eye on the dashing woodcutter in the neighboring village.

So let the wedding bells ring and marry off that farmer’s son in the village of another player, thereby earning you additional income. And surely your village baker will find a woman from a neighboring village to move in with him. Before you know it, their offspring will be new citizens in your village.

Your goal in Helvetia is to build new homes, bring culture to your village, and sell essential goods at market. Whatever strategy you choose, this village life won’t be boring – especially in the villages that grow and thrive!
