In Windmill Valley , a game inspired by the Bloemen Route, you and up to three players take on the role of tulip farmers and entrepreneurs. You will build and enhance your windmills, look for new tulip bulbs in foreign trades or among local vendors to buy and plant, and try to get an edge with hired help and lucrative contracts. Let your blooming fields make your competitors green with envy!

During their turn, players choose the action by rotating the wheels on their windmill board. During the game they can:

• Enhance their wheels, by adding enhancements, to build their engine
• Plant tulips in their fields, which will score VP at the end of the game
• Build windmills on the main board to activate rewards from adjacent fields
• Hire helpers that provide bonuses for certain actions
• Get contracts for endgame scoring
• Visit the local market and conduct a foreign trade

All in all, Windmill Valley is a lightweight game with quick turns, a smart action-selection mechanism, multiple options to build your engine, and a lovely setting.
