About
A resource-management classic in the spirit of the earliest computer strategy games, rebuilt for a keypad. Each year set three numbers - land to buy or sell, grain to feed your people and acres to sow - then read the royal report of harvests, rat raids, starvation, newcomers and the occasional plague. Starve too many in one year and you are overthrown; survive ten years and you are judged on land per person and lives lost.
Objective: Survive ten years with a growing, well-fed population and plenty of land per person.
