Could you give some guidance on how to play the game?

angry-cyboot 2025-10-08 19:21

We failed to make it clear in game, sorry... so I updated the description so it should be clearer.

Anyway on the first turn you only have two options which are the two roads to the left of the capital, click on the crossroads to select them

Neat concept. I managed to go through the first level after a few tries, but failed afterwards. Is it even possible to win without always using "Bonk" and asking for money :joy: ?

Well done!

I was able to make it all the way around, but I am not sure how to not disappoint the king.

@mibi88 , @tinykidtoo

yeah that's also not obvious ... oopsy

you can click on the icons above the taxable nodes to change taxation levels

Yes that wasn't obvious at all, I had fully read the tutorial and didn't understood it.

angry-cyboot 2025-10-21 00:24

yep sorry I added it to the tutorial once I figured it wasn't obvious

The concept here is cool, but it's a little hard to figure out some of the mechanics.

The road costs are confusing and hard to plan. It's hard to know what's a "lot" of taxes, or just fine taxes.

Hard to understand the gameplay. Interesting concept tho

myezko 2025-10-22 14:42

cool but an in game tutorial is a must have for games like these

kalbshack 2025-10-22 15:40

Nice concept. Took me a few moments to understand the mechanic, so maybe some wot or tutorial would be nice. Anyway good work.

Did not really get the game. But interesting nonetheless. Maybe you could have required every city to be visited then it would be like a "travelling salesman problem" from computer science.

Simple and cute, like it!
