My Village review

I've been a fan of the "Village" series for a while now, and I was excited to try out "My Village". It's a standalone game, which means you don't need to own the original "Village" to enjoy it, and it has a lot of familiar elements that will appeal to fans. The game introduces a dice mechanic that adds a fresh twist to the strategy, making it feel like a completely different game even though it shares some core elements.

The dice mechanic is clever. You roll a shared pool of dice and then choose two to take actions. The sum of those dice determines which actions are available to you. This creates a lot of interesting choices and makes the game feel very dynamic. I found the dice mechanism to be the most engaging part of the game, and it adds a layer of unpredictability that keeps things fresh.

However, the game does have its drawbacks. There are a lot of options, and it can be overwhelming for new players to keep track of them all. The game also has a steeper learning curve than the original "Village".

Overall, "My Village" is a great game that I would recommend to fans of strategy games and those who enjoyed the original "Village". It's a complex game that can be a bit overwhelming at first, but with a little patience, it's definitely worth the effort. It's also a great game for experienced gamers looking for a challenge.
