Games Like Hex and Hearth

Lay a tile. Then another. A village grows on them.

Hex and Hearth is a calm village builder on hexes. Pick a tile from the shelf and set it down. Where tiles touch, they work together. A cottage beside a garden eats. A mill beside the wheat turns. A road leads out to the woods.

A village that lives

Families move in when the village is fed. They work the fields and forests beside their homes. Day turns to night, and the year turns through four seasons, from green summer to snowy winter. Rain passes over the rooftops.

Nothing can be lost

There is no game over and no timer. Any empty hex is a fine place for a tile. If food runs short, work slows down, but the village always recovers. Fill the granary before winter. That is all the pressure there is.

Play your way

Build freely with every tile open, or found a village on rules. Answer the village's quests to open new tiles. Add disasters, raiders, building sites or a wild coastline. Or none of them.

Small comforts

Hex and Hearth is unhurried on purpose. Listen to the music. Lay a tile. Let the night come. See who moves in. Feel the mood.
