Boonlake

You have left civilization behind you. As part of a group of pioneers, you have settled in Boonlake, an abandoned region along the shore of the lake of the same name. The land has not yet been explored, but apparently, it had already been inhabited by humans in former times. This place beckons you! Become a part of the community and commit yourself to a common good. Explore the landscape. Build houses and settlements. Raise cattle. Produce raw materials and develop an infrastructure. Automate the processes. Seize your oppurtunity. Make the best of your new life - in Boonlake!

Your obective in this expert game by Alexander Pfister is to improve your and your group's life - but the way to do this is left up to you. Due to a novel action mechanism, every game proceeds differently. Will you focus on expansion? Contribute to creating an infrastructure? Or rather pursue your own agenda? Each action needs to be considered carefully: Not only may all the others benefit from it as well, but the action also determines how far you may move your ship - the further and faster, the better, the reason being that only the smartest sailors get the good bonuses...
