One axe, three houses and a forest. The rest is up to you.

Chop trees and sell logs. Build a bridge to the Bear Thicket. Hire lumberjacks, hunters and miners — they keep working while you are away, and their coins pile up in the treasury.

Six lands, each with its own goods, buyers and dangers: the Bear Thicket, the Stone Hills, the River Valley, the Pearl Island in the middle of the lake and the Fire Mountains with their volcano.

Four bosses, each with a move of its own. The Old Bear strikes all around. The Pack Leader charges in a straight line. The Ancient Guardian throws rocks where you are running. The Fire Dragon breathes fire and drops from the sky. Every blow shows on the ground first — get out of the way in time.

At night wolves come for your storehouse: build a fence and towers, and gather a squad.

After the dragon a craft quarter opens: planks, ingots and trinkets for the merchant's contracts — and his wagon has to get through the Bear Thicket, where bandits wait for it. Then build a factory behind the village fence: lay belts with one finger, set sawmills and joineries, and meet your first steam engine. And when the second engine comes, the village grows into a capital: a fountain, a stone wall, a market, a town hall, a trading house and a palace, each with a gift of its own.

Coins to spare? The Wonder Shop sells pets that follow your hero — a dog, a fox, an owl and a little dragon — lanterns, fireworks, a hot-air balloon and your hero's golden statue.

Eleven great deeds, and each one gives your hero a hat — from a straw hat to a royal crown. Beaten a boss? Call it out again at its lair, race your own best time and go for gold.

Three new tasks every day, and a season every month: four goals and a hat of its own — a trapper hat in January, a pumpkin in October, twelve in all.

Every day the fair pays more for one kind of goods. Turn on reminders, and the game tells you when the treasury is full.
