In Tiny Towns: Fortune, you develop a small woodland town with limited resources and a clever use of money as a trading medium. You guide a community of small forest creatures building a civilization free from predators. The challenge lies in earning and spending money strategically to gain advantages from other creatures. The game combines pattern building with resource management in a confined space.
Who Is This Game For?
This expansion targets experienced players familiar with the base game Tiny Towns, adding complexity through new mechanics. With a playtime of around 60 minutes and support for up to six players, it suits those seeking tactical depth in medium-length sessions. The recommended age of 14+ signals moderate complexity and strategic demands.
How It Works
Tiny Towns: Fortune adds money as a resource to the base game, used as currency to trade for various benefits. Players build patterns on their boards while leveraging Follow mechanics to utilize or influence others' actions. Resource scarcity requires careful planning and strategic use of money and pattern building to create the most successful tiny town.

Designed by Peter McPherson and Josh Wood, this expansion introduces money as a new strategic element to the abstract city-building base game.
