In Dorfromantik: Head to Head, exactly two players can enjoy a fast-paced game of Dorfromantik in which they compete against each other in a friendly contest. During the selection phase, the two opponents take turns choosing landscape or task tiles. In the subsequent laying phase, both players create their own landscape, aiming to score as many points as possible. To do this, they each reveal one tile at a time and place it. At the end of the game, points are awarded for forest, grain, and village tasks; for the longest river in one’s own territory; for flags in completed areas; and—brand new—for complete mountains and lakes.

The player who best fulfills the villagers’ tasks while also creating an idyllic landscape with rivers, mountains, and lakes wins the duel.
