Two games stitched together, and the stitching is the interesting part. The merge puzzle generates currency and the decorating spends it, which means the puzzle has a purpose beyond its own score and the decorating has a cost beyond taste. Neither half would hold attention alone; together they produce the loop that this genre runs on. The decorating is more generous than most games of this shape allow — real choices between styles rather than a single correct answer unlocked in sequence, so two players' houses end up looking different. The merge board is the constraint: space is limited, so merging efficiently rather than greedily is what funds the room you actually want. It is a long, unhurried game designed for short visits, and it is honest about being exactly that.

How to play Designville: Merge & Design
- Merge upward promptly; holding duplicates uses board space that could be producing.
- Keep a corner of the board clear so a new item never forces a bad merge.
- Decide which room you are saving for before spending, since currency is the bottleneck.
- Finish one room before starting another — half-decorated rooms pay nothing.
- Come back after a break; the board regenerates items while you are away.
Tips
- The highest-tier merge available is almost always worth doing immediately.
- Style choices are permanent per room, so pick what you like rather than what is cheapest.
- Board space is the real currency; treat it as more valuable than coins.
