A friendly little world awaits us: a patch of green where we want to plan and grow well together. Over the course of ten years, we build up our village, construct buildings, settle people and cultivate plants and animals, and in the process, use more than 800 stickers to customize our game board. The pretty stickers are important for the game mechanics and shape how the story of our settlement unfolds.
We complete task cards, make decisions, and have to live with their consequences—but we can’t lose; we simply experience a different story. Thanks to the reversible board, “Cozy Sticker Ville” can be played through twice.
Jury statement:
Planning together creates a constructive atmosphere that captivates all players. Placing the stickers is fun and provides quick feelings of accomplishment. This cheerful village-building game offers an exciting break that doesn’t rush players but invites them in, and is easily accessible thanks to its simple rules. Along the way, the game casually raises social issues of our time, sparking conversation among the group.
