Copper Creek is a city building game for 2-6 players.

  • Release Year: 2021

  • Game Type: Board Game

  • Designer: James Ernest

  • Players: 2 to 6

  • Playing Time: 1 Hour

  • Components to Print: Board, Tiles, Rules

  • You Also Need: Six small tokens (pennies will do), about 15-20 stackable tokens for each player, one “active player” marker, and money.

Copper Creek is a clever little tile game about building a boom town. With elements of other James Ernest games like Agora and Cube Farm (Cheapass Games) and Lords of Vegas (Mayfair / Lone Shark Games), Copper Creek brings a new flavor of town-building to your tabletop.

Copper Creek is a simple game of give-and-take with plenty of luck and strategy and just a little bit of politics. The most entertaining part is how organically, and realistically, the tiny town grows over time.

To play Copper Creek, you have to print your own deck of 24 tile cards, as well as the Train Station board. That’s because these cards are just slightly the wrong shape for our print-on-demand service. So until Copper Creek finds an actual publisher, we are only offering it as a print-and-play.

The game has been more than 15 years in development (on and off, mostly off) but this beta version is still pretty new. Send us your feedback and help us make this game better!
