🐸 HOW TO PLAY Town 77
1. A village obsessively tidy.
In Town 77 , the citizens can't stand two houses of the same color or shape ending up in the same row or column. Your task? Build as many houses as possible, planning every move so you don't get stuck... or risk being eliminated.
2. The start: the first brick.
You begin by placing the first tile in the upper left corner of an imaginary 7x7 grid. Each player takes turns adding a house next to the existing ones, respecting the golden rule: there cannot be another house of the same color or style in the same row or column.
3. Playing or fishing: hand management.
After placing a tile, you can choose whether or not to draw a new building. But be careful: once you reduce your hand size, you can't increase it. Holding more options can save you... but having too many cards risks holding you back in the endgame.
4. The risk of being left without a move.
If you can't place any houses on a turn, you're out. The game continues until everyone is eliminated or until one player places their last tile, instantly winning. In the event of a tie, the player with the fewest tiles in hand... or the player who lasted the longest wins.
5. Strategy, memory and a pinch of bluff.
To succeed in Town 77, you must anticipate others' moves, memorize the colors and shapes already in play, and hold the right tiles for the decisive moment. Only those who balance patience and boldness will become the best urban planner of the most orderly city in the world.

Town 77: The urban puzzle game that tests your wits
In Town 77, the city grows before your eyes, but every choice can trap you. The houses have strict rules: no two colors are the same, no two shapes are repeated in the same row or column . One mistake and you risk blocking your game. Every move is a mental puzzle, every placement an act of calculation and creativity. The table fills with discussions, scrutinizing eyes, and hesitant hands: will you be the last architect standing?
Minimalist strategy and mental challenge for quick minds
Town 77 is a puzzle board game for 1-5 players, designed by Christoph Cantzler and Anja Wrede and produced by Oink Games. It combines tile placement and hand management in quick 15-minute games that stimulate logical thinking. The rules are simple, but each turn forces you to consider multiple variables: what to block, where to leave space, how not to block your own path. Perfect for both those who enjoy abstract board games and solitary challenges, as well as for groups looking for a quick but deep filler, it offers high replayability thanks to the ever-changing tile layouts.
We played it and… 🐸 it made us rack our brains
This game is small only in the box : at the table, it becomes a fierce challenge. The tension increases as the board fills and the options become fewer. In solo mode, it offers a true mental workout, while in multiplayer mode, it creates moments of pure tactical enjoyment when you manage to corner your opponent. The satisfaction of placing the last tile or the frustration of being left with a stuck hand is what will have you asking for a rematch right away.
