Players draft dice and play multi-use cards to expand fields, farms, market stalls, or helpers. The game combines action drafting, hand management, and area majority to create deep economic decisions. You deliver goods to markets and fulfill contracts in a structured six-round gameplay.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for experienced hobby gamers aged 14 and up who enjoy complex Eurogames with about 120 minutes playtime. Prior experience with engine-builders or economic games is recommended. Includes a solo mode for single players.
How It Works
Each round, players roll revenue dice and draft them to perform actions. Multi-use cards offer four options: field expansion, farm expansion, market barrow, or hired helper. Resources grow automatically, and players deliver goods or fulfill contracts to score points. The siesta track influences turn order and scoring.
