HVRG rules (PDF)
HVRG assets (zip with AI), includes everything you need to build and play HVRG except for a die color-coded to the money squares

For our Game Design class, John Dimatos, Brian Kim, Zannah Marsh and I designed the Happy Village Real Estate Game (HVRG). We started out creating a game about apartment hunting in New York, but the ruleset quickly spun out of control and became impossible to balance. What we ended up with was HVRG, a game which is a satire of our game design process. It comes complete with adorable retro kittens adorning everything and not mentioned in the rules, as well as a simple resource-gathering mechanic. Zannah did the excellent design of the assets, and I designed the board. The rules PDF is linked above, along with a a zipped folder of Illustrator files, in case you have an inkling to download your own copy of HVRG. The full board is below, and some photos of our hand-made prototype version, which I still find quite charming in and of itself.
