Buy Village & Monsters PC key

Village & Monsters is a card game in which you develop a human settlement and a population of viruses. Monsters periodically attack the settlement, while viruses help hold them back. Your goal is to reach a human population of 100 without letting the virus die; at 100 people, humans are expected to fight the monsters without the virus.

Develop both populations

You develop the settlement and the viruses by combining pairs of different cards. Human cards cover materials, technologies, weapons and tools, permanent social effects, and events; virus cards follow the same structure. The game has three decks: accumulated cards, event cards and permanent cards. You track food and population for humans, and DNA and virus numbers for the virus population.

Buildings play a central role. Human buildings produce food and materials, while virus buildings produce creatures. You build them by combining cards, then view them on the game map with detailed information about each one.

Maintain the balance

Creatures can adapt to the virus, reducing DNA production. The more viruses there are, the faster creatures adapt. You can also infect people, gaining large DNA bonuses and access to stronger cards, but infection gives people disease cards that debuff them. You need to balance the number of viruses against these effects.

Events always harm the population or food supply, though weapons and tools can reduce their impact. Permanent cards grant lasting buffs, but their deck is limited to four cards.
