How It Plays
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Network and Route Building
You connect locations to form networks — the bigger and smarter your network, the more points you earn.
Pick-up and Deliver
You pick up goods from one location and deliver them to another for rewards — efficient routes mean big payoffs.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
Worker Placement
You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!
About This Game
In Hamlet: By the Lake, you take your village building lakeside! Form lakes, build boats, go fishing, and feed your Villagers seasonal meals that give them special abilities. Hamlet: By the Lake adds variability, customizability and more individual control of resources, taking the strategy levels for Hamlet well above sea level. —description from the publisher
