The board game universe is gearing up for a highly anticipated return with the announcement of Helvetia: Second Edition, a fully updated and enhanced version of Matthias Cramer’s famous town-building game originally released in 2011. Designed for 1 to 5 players with playtimes ranging from 60 to 120 minutes, this title invites Eurogame enthusiasts to build and optimize the ideal Swiss village in the heart of the Alps.
In this town-building game featuring intricate economic mechanics, every villager and resource operates on its own precise clock. Villagers marry, goods flow through interconnected production chains, and markets shift across overlapping cycles. The true challenge for players lies in synchronizing these various moving parts to produce, trade, and thrive at just the right moment.
This Second Edition preserves the core and best ideas of the original game while introducing streamlined mechanisms, a dynamic and variable market, and valuable quality-of-life improvements. With an age rating of 15 and up and modernized content, this new version promises to refresh the Alpine strategy experience with enhanced balance and fluidity.
