Windmill Valley Board Game

It’s the late 19th century, and more than 9000 windmills dot thelandscape of the Netherlands, some of them purpose-built to dry the lowlands,called polders. In the polders between these windmills are fields filled withcolorful tulips—the flower that once was a part of the turbulent history ofthe first financial bubble but is now simply a quintessential part of the Dutchlandscape, especially on the famous Bloemen Route (or “Flower Route”).

In Windmill Valley , a game inspired by the Bloemen Route, you and up tothree players take on the role of tulip farmers and entrepreneurs. You willbuild and enhance your windmills, look for new tulip bulbs in foreign trades oramong local vendors to buy and plant, and try to get an edge with hired help andlucrative contracts. Let your blooming fields make your competitors greenwith envy!

• Build windmills on the main board to activate rewards fromadjacent fields
• Hire helpers that provide bonuses for certain actions
• Get contracts for endgame scoring
