Villagers
Villagers do the work on your table, and most of the fighting.
Workers
A 
Villager works on whatever it's stacked on and fights when it has to. It starts with 5 health and 1 attack. Right-click a Villager to rename it: a book appears in your hand, so write the name on the first page and press Done.
Gear Slots
Hover a Villager, 
Iron Golem, or 
Wolf to see its three slots. Drop a card on them to equip it, and click a slot to take it back. Hover an enemy to see what it carries.

Levels
Villagers earn experience from work and fights, ranking up from Novice to Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Master. The badge in the card's corner shows their rank. Each rank adds health, and Journeymen and Masters work faster.

Babies
Two Villagers on a 
House make a 
Baby Villager. Add food as well and a grown Villager moves in instead. Babies can't work or fight, and monsters leave them alone. They eat 1 food point at supper and grow up after 5 minutes.

Healing and Reviving
Drop food on a hurt fighter to heal them, even in the middle of a fight. A
