This game is amazing. New players start with a six person tribe, with one farm and one house. During a turn, you have the option to build either houses or farms, each of which cost 1 material. After a turn is updated, many things will happen:
1. Your population will grow by an amount dependent on how many houses you have
2. every 2 people will gather one unit of material
3. For every farm in your village, you will gain 8 units of food
4. if you don't have sufficient food, your people will die
5. time will progress 2 months
6. you start with no materials so your first turn is only for gathering, which is updated when you end turn.
good luck on building your village!!
