Villagers
A top tableau-builder for your tabletop
Designer: Haakon Hoel Gaarder | Artist: Haakon Hoel Gaarder
The Middle Ages were tough. An era characterised in large part by repression, poverty, warfare and plague.The latter offers the thematic starting point for newcomer designer Haakon Gaarder, with Villagers’ European communities ravaged by the Black Death and struggling to get themselves back on their feet after so many of their citizens have been lost to the disease.
Sounds pretty grim. But Villagers’ bright, cheery illustrations and graphic design (all impressively done by Gaarder himself) tell a different story.
