HOW TO PLAY:
Tile Placement:
Each turn, you are given a selection of tiles that can be placed on the grid. Each tile has a specific pattern and function, like farming plots, residential areas, roads, or special buildings. The key to success is placing these tiles in ways that maximize their effectiveness.
Farmland Tiles: Place them in areas with fertile soil to grow crops.
Residential Tiles: Build homes to grow your population.
Road Tiles: Create efficient road networks to connect your village and boost productivity.
Strategic Decisions:
Resource Management: Ensure you have enough resources like food, wood, and stone to sustain your growing village. Certain tiles require specific resources to function, so planning ahead is essential.
Space Optimization: Carefully consider each tile placement, as limited space means every tile must be placed efficiently to avoid wastage.
Building Structures:
As the village grows, you can unlock and build additional structures, such as farms, wells, and workshops. These buildings offer unique bonuses or increase the productivity of your village.
Workshops: Allow you to produce more resources.
Wells: Provide water, which is essential for your farming tiles to be effective.
Level Progression:
Each level presents a new challenge with different starting conditions, available tiles, and objectives. As you progress, you unlock new tile types and abilities, which make building your village more complex and rewarding.
Objectives: Complete specific goals, such as reaching a certain population or generating a set amount of resources, to advance to the next level.
Expanding the Village:
Keep expanding your village by placing tiles in ways that maximize space, growth, and resource production. Balancing your residential, industrial, and farming areas is crucial to avoid resource shortages and inefficient layouts.
Endgame & Replayability:
Each level offers different layouts and objectives, ensuring that no two playthroughs are the same. You can replay levels to try different strategies and achieve better scores. The game’s soothing music and visually satisfying tile placements make it an enjoyable experience even after multiple runs.
