Deep within the enchanted forest, your gnome village was flattened after a devastating troll raid. Now, you must race to forge a new home--one strong enough to withstand relentless enemies and stand above the rest. Outwit the trolls, out-build your rivals, and build the legendary town of Gnomeville!

Gnomeville is a captivating bag-building game for 1-4 players that brings a fresh twist by blending strategic tile placement, dopamine boosts from match-3 puzzles, with the tactical depth of tower defense. This is all wrapped up with a layer of press-your-luck, simultaneous bag-building play we all know and love for a uniquely magical experience.

Choose your build sites, prepare for the upcoming troll’s attack, spawn new gnomes and graduate them from academy, craft some swords and hammers, and prove that your village can withstand any attack!
