How it plays

How does it play?

The flooding was massive and pulled the fields of crops, the trees, and the houses into the sea — but already by the next day, the first shoots of plants began sprouting from the wet sand… Being subject to the weather's mercy, you need to skillfully place grains, beets and trees to establish the most productive fields. You have several possibilities for getting extra resources and increasing the value of these treasures by transforming them.

The flooding was massive and pulled the fields of crops, the trees, and the houses into the sea — but already by the next day, the first shoots of plants began sprouting from the wet sand… Being subject to the weather's mercy, you need to skillfully place grains, beets and trees to establish the most productive fields. You have several possibilities for getting extra resources and increasing the value of these treasures by transforming them. Who will use the power of Aurimentic most wisely? And who will own most of the valuable crystals? In Aurimentic, you invest at the market and build farmhouses and towers to secure your power. But you must be careful as everything that you have built up can be wiped out in one move, either by severe and destructive weather or by your fellow players' urge to dominate. To succeed, you need both tactical skills and the ability to foresee your opponent's plans — and perhaps a bit of luck.
