About the Game

Become the ruler number one, conquer everything!. Monopoly game style meets management. This a board game with some management stuff and a minimalistic art style. The perfect cozy game for short game sessions.

The objective cannot be simpler, just conquer all board tiles by consuming resources. But in order to get more resources you need to manage the available buildings (when you conquer them) to create more resources.

Carefully watch out your resources and plan your strategy accordingly.

The game comes with various game modes for more variety, different maps and achievements for extra fun!

Simple mechanics, BUT very challenging:

-just click on a tile to get more information about how to proceed in order to spend your resources.

-pan, zoom the camera as usual in these kind of games.

-time, the game runs on a fictional time, each action needs an amount of time to be executed, and at the end of each month your town consume resources. So, plan your timings accordingly to maximize your actions and not run out of resources while you conquer the whole board.

-build resources to stay alive

-different game modes, once you get a good taste of the default conquer all mode, you can try other challenges like survive during an amount of time, achieve a determined amount of money, conquer only towns and not the whole board. Plenty of stuff

-achievements, for an extra spicy touch!

Management:

Manage your resources through the buildings. In each building you can create more resources, like gold, water and food, and such resources needs time and money to be created.

To create resources you need to spend both time and money, so check the screen, do your math, manage the timings to create such resource and build them!!!

At the same time, such buildings have a monthly cost that goes towards your main town that you must balance to not run out of resources.

It's just that simple, once you play you will not be able to stop!!
