Cozy Glade - Board Game

In Maple Valley – the village where you live – everything you need is available. Various goods are actively traded at the market, in the owl’s nest ideas are shared on how to fill your home with warmth, and the workshop is always ready to improve your life.

Life in the forest is very joyful, at least while the sun provides warmth and the leaves rustle on the trees. However, these days do not last forever, and long before the weather turns, the wise animals begin to prepare for the upcoming long cold winter.

You will spend several months in your burrow and want to make it as cozy as possible. A pot of hearty soup, a comfortable rocking chair, games and toys – and the dark winter days will fly by unnoticed.

Winter is coming. What will you gather, prepare, knit, and craft to ensure happiness and coziness in your home?

In "Cozy Glade," you play as a family of forest creatures that need to prepare for the upcoming winter. This is a game with an unusual combination of placement and worker activation mechanics: you first assign workers to specific actions, and then activate them using dice.

A game of "Cozy Glade" lasts several rounds (months). The locations on the game board provide various bonuses (resources, household item cards, and improvement cards). To receive this bonus, place a worker in the location and put a die with the needed value in it. But first, roll 2 personal family dice (place workers considering the results of this roll). After placing workers, roll 4 common village dice, which will be used throughout the month. After that, players' turns begin.

On your turn, you choose dice from your set (2 family dice and 4 village dice) for each of your placed workers. Use resources to craft household items and build improvements while trying to combine them in such a way that you get the most comfort points. At the end of the game, the family with the coziest home wins!
