Read the full game description
The Glorious Guilds of Buttonville is a welcoming set-collection game about repopulating an empty town. Each turn you recruit villagers from a public market, then play a set of matching cards to trigger that villager’s ability. Larger sets usually produce stronger effects, while every villager left in your neighborhood scores at the end. The box includes a broad cast, but only a selection appears in any session, creating new combinations and priorities without adding rules weight.
