M.U.L.E.

Each of these goods have their uses: if you don't have enough food, you will have less time during your turn.

If you don't have enough energy, your output will be lower.

If enough smithore isn't produced, there will be a shortage of M.U.L.E.s.

Crystite is the big earner that can make or break your game.

You start the game by selecting your race.

Some are easier to play, some harder.

There are three levels of difficulty, in the easiest the game only lasts 6 turns, but the real game is 12 turns.

Crystite is not available at the easiest level.

Each turn starts with a land claim.

Each player gets to choose a spot of land for themselves from the map.

If two players choose the same spot, the player with less money wins.

The map consists of different landscapes.

River is best for producing food, plains for energy, mountains for smithore.

They can buy M.U.L.E.s to start production on their land, sabotage other players by buying M.U.L.E.s and letting them loose, try to catch the Wumpus for cash and try to find crystite veins.

The time to do these things depends on if the player has enough food.

Finally the player goes to the casino and wins a small amount of money, depending on how much time was left.

After the cultivation phase is the production phase where each land produces an amount of goods depending on a number of factors such as if the player has enough energy in storage, what type of land is used, and some random events such as sunspots that increase energy output.

Also, if the same player has plots producing the same goods next to each other, they gain a bonus.

Three plots of the same production type anywhere on the map by the same pla
