Pairish: The Building of Sonnie Village is a fast cooperative board game for 2 to 8 players. You gather crops and care for pets and farm animals while building the picturesque Sonnie village. Pairish is suitable for big and small, experienced players and those new to the hobby. Pairish has two play modes: Newcomers and Old-timers. The Newcomers mode is suitable for kids, people new to playing board games and for a first game so that you get familiar with the rules. The Old-timers mode is for more experienced players or those who want to feel a challenge. In both modes, the goal is for every player to collect a Pairish. You have collected a Pairish when at least 6 out of the 7 cards in your hand are equal by one of the stats - number of windows, floors or slopes. In Old-timers mode you have to also complete the Mayor's task. He decides what crops you should grow and what animals to take care of and in return, finances you with the village's grant. During one turn, you complete 4 actions: draw a card from the deck, build a house with the card face down, flip the card face up and give one card from your hand to the player to their right. To win, every player needs to have collected their Pairish so you have to take care not only of your Pairish but help the other players as well. Will you succeed in completing the Mayor's task before the clock strikes? It's up to you and your fellow villagers. Good luck! And take care of each other's Pairish… -description from the designer
