Expandlet

Establish your dynasty by producing food, building materials, tools and luxury goods before supplying them to your hamlets, towns and cities with your kingdom.

Game Loop

Every day, you earn a new card which lets you place structures on the grid. Every structure expands after a certain amount of days, granting or consuming resources.

The goal is to keep your hamlets, towns and cities alive as long as possible. They additionally grant you an extra card on expansion and increase your maximum hand size by 1. If not supplied with enough resources, a town will shrink, eventually disband and turn into a ruin.

Disclaimer: Currently there is no lose condition, and you are never forced to place any towns. Additionally, towns only consume the food resource.

Very cute game, especially the artstyle and music!

Once you get the hang of it (to let the resouces grow to full size to make them disappear) it feels like playing tetris with the additional layer of time (for when you let something grow right before another resource needs the tile)

With additional ressource restrictions for the towns its gonna become a fun shitshow to manage.


Looks fun but i dont get it
