Explore deep caves and develop a village in Above and Below!

Above and Below is a mashup of town-building and storytelling where you and up to three friends compete to build the best village above and below ground. In the game, you send your villagers to perform jobs like exploring the cave, harvesting resources, and constructing houses. Each villager has unique skills and abilities, and you must decide how to best use them. You have your own personal village board, and you slide the villagers on this board to various areas to indicate that they've been given jobs to do. Will you send Hanna along on the expedition to the cave? Or should she instead spend her time teaching important skills to one of the young villagers? The game supports 2 to 4 players and takes around 90 minutes to play to its completion!

Each copy of the game includes the following components:

  • 1 Reputation Board
  • 25 House Cards
  • 4 Starting House Cards
