...and they are not twins!
VILLAGERS and STREETS are two TOTALLY different games published by SInister FIsh Games that shares the same graphic feel and the same game designer, but that's it!
**Now it is up to you to decide which one fits your taste best.
**
On the left side, you have VILLAGERS:
You are the founder of a new village during the middle ages, in the years after a great plague. The loss of so many people has created big problems for the survivors. Many of the people the villagers used to depend on for essential things like food, shelter, and clothes are gone. Craftsmen find themselves without suppliers of raw materials, traders have lost their customers and many have lost their farms and workshops as they escaped the plague.
The roads are full of refugees seeking a new beginning. They come to you, hoping to settle down on your land and make a living. Your grain farm is the ideal starting point for a village, reliably providing food for many people. You must choose wisely who you allow to settle with you, as your food and resources are limited.
The people on the road have valuable and unique skills, but they all in turn rely on other people with very specific crafts to be able to work. Raw materials, tools and services must be provided by other people from the road.
If you manage to find people that can work together to make a profit, while increasing your food surplus and capacity for building new houses, your village will be prosperous.
You can learn it by trying the tutorial available here. Do not worry, you can even share it, because you do not need to be logged in to try it!
On the right side we have... STREETS!
The city was once a small and sleepy town, but the affordable properties have attracted artists, startup companies, and families. Celebrities and influencers are moving in, and after some recent archeological findings, the tourist industry is booming. Street by street, the city is transforming into a centre of culture and commerce.
Players are investors creating attractive new streets in the growing city, investing in new businesses and homes. Some streets will become hotspots for hipsters, others will be dominated by tourists or families with children. Others still will become designated shopping areas. Where will your Microbrewery profit the most? What is the best location for a Toy Store? What kind of environments are the other investors creating, and can you exploit their work for your own gain?
As each street is completed, the people on it will move to new buildings that interest them- hopefully one of your buildings on an up-and-coming street. Can you compete with the hype of your rivals and grow your following over time? To earn the most money and win the game you need to manage your limited investment funds cleverly, planning ahead while keeping your mind open to fresh opportunities.
Streets is a tile-laying game where players build a city together. Each building has a simple evaluation formula which earns money for the owner when the street is scored. Values are affected by the other buildings on the street, so smart placement is essential to maximise profit. On top of this, the city is populated by hipsters, families, shoppers and tourists, each with their own preferred building type. Cleverly located properties can benefit from the growing crowds of people who further increase the value of the buildings they visit.
Optional expansion modules add powerful asymmetric player abilities, extra layers of strategy, & tough decisions. It also has a SOLO mode, so you can even play it alone. But it is more fun with friends.
You can of course learn it also by clicking your way through the short interactive tutorial, available right here.

Also, let's not forget the very cool work done by the developers, Kayvon & Mogri, who did an excellent job on both games. A big thanks to them. You can play the games on many devices. Nothing is perfect, so if you tried to play it on some very fancy or very old device, do not hesitate to tell us about any bugs using the report form. That's cool for us, and for other users.
Thanks a lot for playing on BGA.
These games are part of a line from an indie company, and we are counting on you to spread the word about them.
That's it for today... and it's only Monday!
See you on Wednesday for our WRT ('Wednesday Release Time) post, and until then...
Take care and play fair!
ALDEOS + RÚAS: Un dobre deleite para o dobre de alegría...
...e non son xemelgos!
VILLAGERS e STREETS son dous xogos TOTALMENTE diferentes publicados por SInister Fish Games que comparten a mesma sensación gráfica e o mesmo deseñador de xogos, pero iso é todo!
Agora tócache decidir cal se adapta mellor ao teu gusto.
No lado esquerdo, tes ALDEOS:
Vostede é o fundador dunha nova aldea durante a Idade Media, nos anos posteriores a unha gran praga.
A perda de tantas persoas creou grandes problemas para os superviventes.
Moita das persoas das que os veciños adoitaban depender para cousas esenciais como comida, abrigo e roupa desapareceron.
Os artesáns atópanse sen provedores de materias primas, os comerciantes perderon os seus clientes e moitos perderon as súas granxas e talleres ao escapar da peste.
As estradas están cheas de refuxiados que buscan un novo comezo.
Eles veñen a ti coa esperanza de establecerse na túa terra e gañarse a vida.
A túa granxa de grans é o punto de partida ideal para unha aldea, xa que proporciona alimentos de forma fiable a moitas persoas.
Debes escoller sabiamente a quen permites que se instale contigo, xa que a túa comida e recursos son limitados.
A xente do camiño ten habilidades valiosas e únicas, pero todos confían á súa vez en outras persoas con oficios moi específicos para poder traballar.
As materias primas, ferramentas e servizos deben ser proporcionados por outras persoas da estrada.
Se consegues atopar persoas que poidan traballar xuntos para obter beneficios, mentres aumentas o teu excedente de alimentos e a túa capacidade para construír novas casas, a túa aldea será próspera.
Podes aprendelo probando o titorial dispoñible aquí.
Non te preocupes, incluso podes compartilo, porque non necesitas iniciar sesión para probalo.
No lado dereito temos...
RÚAS!
A cidade foi unha vez unha cidade pequena e durmida, pero as propiedades asequibles atraeron a artistas, empresas de inicio e familias.
Famosos e influenciadores están a mudarse e, tras algúns descubrimentos arqueolóxicos recentes, a industria turística está en auxe.
Rúa a rúa, a cidade estase transformando nun centro de cultura e comercio.
Os xogadores son investidores que crean novas rúas atractivas na cidade en crecemento, investindo en novos negocios e vivendas.
Algunhas rúas converteranse en puntos de interese para os hipsters, outras estarán dominadas por turistas ou familias con nenos.
Outros aínda pasarán a ser zonas comerciais designadas.
Onde se beneficiará máis a túa Microbrewery?
Cal é o mellor lugar para unha tenda de xoguetes?
Que tipo de ambientes están a crear os outros investidores e podes explotar o seu traballo para o teu propio beneficio?
A medida que se rematen cada rúa, a xente que se atopa nela mudarase a novos edificios que lles interesen; con sorte, un dos teus edificios nunha rúa en ascenso.
Podes competir co bombo dos teus rivais e aumentar o teu número de seguidores co paso do tempo?
Para gañar o máximo de cartos e gañar o xogo, necesitas xestionar os teus fondos de investimento limitados de forma intelixente, planificando con antelación mentres tes a mente aberta a novas oportunidades.
Streets é un xogo de colocación de azulexos onde os xogadores constrúen unha cidade xuntos.
Cada edificio ten unha fórmula de avaliación sinxela que gaña diñeiro para o propietario cando se puntua a rúa.
Os valores vense afectados polos demais edificios da rúa, polo que a colocación intelixente é esencial para maximizar o beneficio.
Ademais, a cidade está poboada de hipsters, familias, compradores e turistas, cada un co seu propio tipo de edificio preferido.
Os inmobles situados intelixentemente poden beneficiarse das crecentes multitudes de persoas que aumentan aínda máis o valor dos edificios que visitan.
Os módulos de expansión opcionais engaden poderosas habilidades de xogadores asimétricas, capas adicionais de estratexia e decisións difíciles.
Tamén ten un modo SOLO, polo que incluso podes xogalo só.
Pero é máis divertido cos amigos.
Por suposto, tamén podes aprendelo facendo clic no breve tutorial interactivo, dispoñible aquí.
