You will travel different countries helping monarchs improve their towns. Each level you should start with laying missing road to the most essential building of the settlement, a fountain. As soon as you connect all of the existing buildings with the main road, you are free to apply all the skills you already have and obtain those which are still the privilege only of the master architects.

To achieve the goal you should build houses, shops, factories, and other important facilities, using a simple drag and drop interface. Select roads and buildings from the menu at the bottom of the screen and click on the map to build them. Unlike Sim City, roads are free. To be able to build another facility you should have enough gold as well as materials needed for the construction. There are different construction types are available to build in your hamlet. They are social buildings such as several houses (small, family and big houses), fire and police stations, educational facilities (school and university) and, of course, hospital. Material supplies are fishery, wood mill, orchard, grain farm, pig, sheep and cow ranch and mine. Building shops is the best source of gold and you have several different types of them that are also demand respective materials to functionate, hence to build a juice stand you should have an orchard first. You can destroy almost anything already built if it doesn't look like it complements your plans.

Levels become more difficult mainly due to the bounded area and the fact that you cannot rotate constructions at all. Still all of them should be connected with the road only in the front of the building. The most enjoyable thing is that the game is free of time limitations, so you can just relax and build your city as you like (we’re not sure if this is the advantage for all the players but still are pleased with this feature).
