Dorfromantik is a 2022 strategy/puzzle video game developed and published by Toukana Interactive. By placing hexagonal tiles of a pastoral environment to create a landscape, the player earns points and additional tiles by connecting like sides of the tiles together, closing off fields, forests, and villages, and completing quests to make areas of contiguous regions. An additional creative mode allows the player to create their own landscapes.
Dorfromantik was developed by four German and Swiss students in a game design master's program at HTW Berlin. As their potential last opportunity to work together as student team, they founded Toukana to create a peaceful, minimalist game. Originally one of several small prototypes in early 2020, the game became the team's main focus after garnering early notice as part of an Itch.io game bundle. The game's title is a German word meaning "village romanticization", or a nostalgic feeling for the countryside. The game itself was inspired by romanticist and impressionist landscape paintings and city-building games.
The game was first released in as an early access title in March 2021, which led to a spike in attention, as well as awards and nominations. After several updates, the full version was released for Windows in April 2022 and as a Nintendo Switch port in September 2022. The game received positive reviews, especially for its aesthetics and design, but was also criticized for a lack of depth. A cooperative board game version was published by Pegasus Spiele as Dorfromantik: The Board Game in February 2023, which won that year's Spiel des Jahres award. It was followed by a competitive two-player version, Dorfromantik: The Duel, in February 2024.
