About Axes and Acres
Axes and Acres is a deep and engaging single-player strategy game designed to create exciting decisions every turn. Axes and Acres includes elements of deck-building which allow you to strategically manage your peasants to farm, build, and survive. The rules are easy to learn, but every turn can be played out in many different ways, leading to complex and interesting choices.
In Axes and Acres you are the lord of a small but rich plot of land (and a couple smelly peasants). These peasants are represented by dice and can Build, Work, Gather Resources, and Reproduce, depending on their mood. Using a combination of your burgeoning population and "motivation" cards, you will build, chop, cultivate and plot to produce a thriving village!
In Axes and Acres both your workers and your motivations can be improved and changed, all within one game. Each play-through is discrete, every decision is difficult and interesting, and there are tons of decisions - making every minute of gameplay valuable. Axes and Acres will test your strategic and tactical skills while providing a rewarding and fun experience.
Axes and Acres is the second game from BrainGoodGames, the creators of the well-received single player strategy game Militia. (7000+ players, 97% review score).

[h1] Appears to be some sort of board game. I have no idea how to play it though. [/h1]10 found this helpful
This game does not work. I cannot get past the tutorial, it simply does not work. I gave it a second try and was met with numerous bugs and game freezes. Ignoring that the core gameplay seems boring and needlessly tedious. I would not recommend this game for free let alone ten bucks. Look at the 20 percent achievement of tutorial completion, that should tell you something. I love strategy, I love board games, I love 4x and this game fails everything. Annoying sounds and music, ugly UI and buggy to all hell. Not one likeable thing.
The harder levels feel closer to a puzzle game, and that's a good thing. It does get very samie feeling, though the "challenge" come from well higher challenge enemies.
The randomization is messed up. It would be nice to have a chance to win but only a single builder dice in the first five rounds is impossible. Also getting the reproduction dice to increase the number of dice to roll also doesn't work since those don't show up until round 5. It's a great game when it's not insanely frustrating.
As another review said, way too many clicks for so little reward. Want to build something? 50 clicks please. Just play Terraformers. A much better board game in video game format in much less clicks.
Mainly got this to learn how a game like this could work. Disappointed though that it doesn't really work well.
