Steam review snapshots
Random cards and "dice" (types of "people" you can use each turn to take various actions) keep it exciting, forcing tactical adjustments…Fun single player board game that gets slightly more difficult each time you win.For what it is, it had the potential to be a great game: you build up your little hamlet from scratch each…It's not an American board-game, so it plays more like "Settlers of Catan" than "Candyland." That means it's complicated at first, though…Why it fits
Check it if you want strategy filtered by single-player.
