About Monument village
Monument village is a peaceful turn-based medieval city-builder.
Start on a pristine island, and grow your village, building by building. You can build exactly one building per turn. At the end of each turn, all your buildings produce some resources.
The focus of the game is on building placement. Each building has bonuses and penalties depending on its neighbors, so take your time to choose where to place them and plan ahead.
As your village produces resources, you will gain knowledge and discover new innovations. Each one gives you a choice of bonuses and/or new buildings to unlock. You cannot get everything, so each playthrough will be different.
Every now and then, you will receive a request for some resources to be delivered. You have to do it, but you will have some time to adapt and prepare.
Finally, when your village and your economy has grown enough, you will be able to build your dream monument. Four monuments are available to choose from, each with its unique requirements and resources.
You are a talented architect, eager to prove your skills and build the grand monument which sketch has been sitting on your desk for far too long. But you need a place to build it, and land isn't cheap.
After many days of searching, you finally make a deal with a wealthy merchant named Tessa. She owns an island on which there is enough space for your project. You accept her conditions without much thought.
Maybe you should have read the fine prints:
First surprise, the island is remote and pristine. You will have to find a way to attract workers and to gather resources from the island. Guess it's time to learn how to manage a village!
Moreover, until the monument is finished, Tessa can request any resource from you, and you will have to comply. Fail to do so and she will kick you out of the island. The longer you take to complete your project, the more you will have to deliver.

Great little gamem Reminds me of a ps1 game. The good old days
I fine little game with focus an looking for synergies of your buildings and the correct placement in their surroundings. Admittedly not the pretties game on the market, but the game play gets you quickly and you wanna beat the higher difficulties after a few runs. BUT prepare to be annoyed and sometimes even stressed, when the game wants you to donate just another bulk of resources you collected and saved. That can be frustrating from time to time, because it is random what is asked of you and if you just spent something or build the wrong production line first, you are literally ****ed. Especially on the hard difficulty. I get that donation mechanic, as it is supposed to make the runs a bit challenging, but it really can be very annoying from time to time so it's a thin edge between challenge and annoyance.
This is a great turn-based builder! I enjoyed the strategic placement of tiles as well as how the game looks. There is some time pressures in the game because 'Tessa' will ask for resources and if you fail to do these on time, you lose the game! So, I appreciate that the dev has added a 'peaceful' mode so that you can play it without any pressure if you prefer.
