Windmill Valley: Tulips, Windmills, and Winning Strategies
Windmill Valley is a strategic board game where the colors don't deceive: beneath those flower fields lies a full-blown economic battle. Set on the famous Dutch Bloemen Route , it puts you in the shoes of a tulip farmer who must do much more than plant flowers. You'll have to rotate your windmill, manage resources, optimize contracts, and... make your neighbors jealous with fields of blooms that would make Instagram pale.
With a personal wheel-shaped board, every choice is a challenge of timing and action management . Few turns, but plenty of meat: power-ups, special aid, local and foreign trade, and competition that blossoms turn after turn. It's one of those budget-friendly board games with a solid structure and a floral heart. If you love building game engines and getting a whiff of victory before anyone else, welcome to the polders.
Also perfect for solo play, Windmill Valley is ideal for those looking for a tense, satisfying, and... discreetly scented experience. 🌷
Why it's worth turning the blades in Windmill Valley
- Strategic board game with a wheel-shaped board and tactical choices

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Build your own valley and become the king of the windmills
In Windmill Valley , players compete to create the most efficient and productive valley. The goal is to place mills and structures on a personal grid, optimizing space, bonuses, and resources. It's a strategic game with a strong spatial planning component .
2. The heart of the game is an interactive action wheel
Each turn, you move your disc on a common wheel and choose an action: collect resources, build, obtain upgrades, or activate buildings. The further you stay from the center, the more you earn... but also the greater the risk of being overtaken by others.
3. Build buildings, place tiles and upgrade your valley
Each building provides bonuses, points, or synergies. Tiles must be placed following a precise logic: connections, colors, and space are essential to creating productive combos and increasing scores .
4. Manage workers, resources and orders to maximize efficiency
You have a limited supply of workers and resources (grain, wood, stone, etc.). Using them wisely to fulfill orders and build at the right time is essential to succeed.
5. Whoever creates the most developed and harmonious valley wins.
After a fixed number of rounds, points are calculated from mills, buildings, completed orders, and spatial synergies. Whoever best combines timing, construction, and resource management wins the challenge in the heart of the Netherlands!
