About this game
Guide a handful of settlers as they create a village in the wild. Manage resources and grow your settlement carefully. Watch your community evolve from a fragile camp into a thriving outpost. Every decision you make influences how they adapt to the untamed world around them.

Decide how your people live and survive. Your calls affect their future and their fate. Balance safety, ambition, and the needs of a growing frontier. Every choice leaves a mark on the world and on the settlers who trust you to guide them.
And don't forget, Strategy is key...
Plan your moves carefully. Each session brings fresh challenges, dynamic events, from disasters to tribute deadlines.
