Description Edit | History

Homesteaders is an Auction and Resource Management game in which players bid on the opportunity to build certain types of buildings, then spend resource cubes to build one of several buildings of that type. The buildings confer abilities, income, and points; some automatically and some requiring a Worker.

The game lasts 10 rounds, with each round consisting of an Auction phase followed by a Building phase. After the last round, players get 1 final income phase and one last chance to buy and sell goods and use their building abilities before scores are tallied.

Players score for their buildings, bonuses conferred by buildings, and points earned throughout the game from selling resource cubes. The player who builds the best combination of buildings and best manages the 9 different resources in the game will score the most points and win, as long as they don't take on too much debt!

3 Homesteaders - replacement cardboard box insert
This is a dxf-file from an cardboard insert I made that fits perfectly in the box so I could store, sort and setup all the components. You should be a able to cut it out on any digital cutting table (Kongsberg, Esko,...)

13 Redesigned Art for Tiles
Due to the unfortunate nature of my copy of Homesteaders I thought I would make my own tiles for the game. It was quite a bit of work but for the people that play the game on a regular basis, find them to be quite pleasing and functional and they are devoid of the dreaded mold. ;)
