Fantasy Town Regional Manager

A fun and relaxing city-builder where you essentially try to manage your city out of total destruction.

Better than s3x (I assume)

I can't get past winter despite pretty much all my relationships being "strong green". I don't understand why the quests don't decrease the enemies’ overall threat level seeing how I'm supposedly clearing areas of enemies. There's an error in the logic there, I think, if you amend it would make the game challenge less insurmountable. Right now, I think I am doing everything right, trying to use the new, more powerful cards whenever I can, I've played both strategies of spending lots of money on quests, or very little money on quests, (whenever I have the manpower and can spare a few adventurers, which is seldom). The maths behind the game make it impossible to keep up with the enemy, too much is hingent upon whether there are defence boosts in the newspaper, upon luck. New defense building technology is not sufficiently boosted. Even if I put down several buildings that would attract the factions, the result is that at the end of the turn- if I only end up attracting a very few (probably, via a covert dice roll?), the game doesn't appear to make up for my loss in the coming turns. It would be better if one building would guarantee to attract at least X adventurers, spread out over the next coming turns or so, rather than having a % chance of immediately attracting some, which has a high chance of failing. If you don't let the gamer in a little bit more on what we are doing when we are placing the buildings, we can't actually strategise. Outside of all this it's a lovely game idea, with a good base and lots of humour. I love digital strategy cardgames and want to see more of them. You can look at Spellcaster University for inspiration regarding how to balance the game and the hand you're dealt. I really do want to see this game succeed.

Nice and easy city builder to get into., and the newspaper articles have a lot of charm to them too. Really enjoy this game while watching/listening to stuff in the background

This looks like a simple little game on the surface, but the more I get into it the more interesting the strategy gets! I'm discovering a lot of challenge in trying to survive to the end of winter. The writing is also top-notch, with lots of clever references to fantasy and role-playing games.

Such a nice, casual game! I love how the game doesn't even expect your town to stay, but the point is to achieve the goals on the way to failure (a lovely way to put it, I know) and build the upgrade tree to make the guilds cooperate with you more the further you get.

fun, yay

Bought this on sale expecting a small game for a few hours and got more than I expected. It's a nifty system, high replayability, it does get a bit repetitive after some hours but there is enough new things coming up to keep it fresh. Worth every cent.
