Welcome to the village

A little village. A handful of resources. One more clever plan.

Build a clockwork town, one pattern at a time. Arrange wood, stone, brick, wheat and glass into blueprints, then watch them become tiny wind-up buildings. Space is precious: where you build matters as much as what you build.

Patterns become buildings

Turn a few resource cards into homes, wheat fields, wells and workshops. Fit each plan around the town you already have, and leave room for the next building.

Put your villagers to work

Feed the village to bring workers into town. Staff buildings to produce resources, or keep villagers on guard duty while your town grows.
