I did it! Eventually I started getting overloaded with island pieces and I thought I would game over at one point when I had almost a full hand of quarries and no rocks, but fortunately a tavern card saved the day and I eventually reached my castle cards. Man, accumulating cards was a nice goal until they piled on top of the castle pieces in the last round.
Great game. It’s my 2nd run ended by quarries.
It would be nice if the game told you what cards you get after completing a building (ex. 9 houses or a windmill). Also it’s a shame you can’t build castle walls that would tile nicely.
Or maybe there could be an auto save system. That way, it would allow you to not lose your progress if you quit but you'd also be unable to go back if you ever made a mistake.
Fun game! Good polish. Great game juice effect for such a minimalist type game. Replay-ability is high. Idea. Once you get the Caste Done or this levels end. Have a second level in space as example.
Took me a minute to figure out but you have to keep your hand full as much as you can so you can get Hops and Wheat out for gold , use Remove cards to place Bakeries for maximum gold, use Fish Shops and Taverns well.
Getting past the early game was so hard. Then I looked at grindsaw's completed kingdom and had a flash of inspiration and well see for yourself lol I don't think piers are supposed to be stacked like this LMFAO.
Fun little game and the serene music compliments the atmosphere of the game well! Great work!
Game is great! But idk if its intentional, but you could add a feature to remove cards you dont need in your hand, having cards (mills, quarries, lumberyards, taverns) that clutter up you hand when you dont really need them at late-game is the most annoying thing in the game for me so far, got like 3 mills and i had no crops ready so i couldnt get rid of them and they just sat there and wasted space in my hand until i got a tavern and zero useful cards in hand and got rid of em all, also it may be a bug but you can put a lot of piers in one single tiny lake square, just put them from the different sides, still enjoyed it, here's my completed tiny kingdom, cute :)
So I ended with over 750 People and never dropped my gold under 150 anymore... I thought I have a short look at your game... well that was at 10PM now its 3AM and I am in love with this Game. Its a very cozy, slighly challanging game, Wonderfoll made, Nice pixelart! Nice Mixture of tiles etc. it Works it has nice sound, I would set it on par with Dorfromantik but in Pixel.
thought i had ran out of space but then i exited out of Fullscreen mode and i had an extra few tiles on the outside. Finished the demo with 410 pop but i think i could have gone higher if i continued
Hi! Amazing game, unfortunately though I encountered a bug that ended multiple runs for me now. When I place a mill or a house and end up getting a new card, if I get 2 new cards from harvesting 2 fields or both maxing out a house bundle and reaching a new population treshold, the first one shows up fine, but the second one never shows up, making me unable to pick it and thus close this screen. WASD still works, I can look around the map, but there is nothing i can click including the menu screen.
Somehow every time I get a mill, the game thinks it's a new discovery. (This pushed its way past "annoying" and into "quirky and charming".) A small issue with what's otherwise quite enjoyable.
I love it! My only real complaint is that, every time I gain a Mill, the "found a new card" click-through screen pops up. That's a bit irritating, I'd prefer for it to only happen the first time I get the Mill.
There is a steep learning curve, and it can feel like RNG at first. I do also think you can get bum luck early on and lose within 20 turns with no chance.
BUT, part of the fun is realizing you actually have way more influence over your deck than it feels like at first. Here are some strategies that can get around the issues you mentioned [Spoilers]:
1. You can use a small number of island pieces to built a jetty (a line of blocks going in one direction). Then you can put all of your piers off to the side of your real island, so they don't clutter your coastline.
2. The location and placement of your wooden houses and lumber yards can significantly increase or decrease the number of cards they produce. If you want to reduce the number of lumberyards (and fields unfortunately), place your houses in a checkerboard pattern (they produce no new cards). If you want to maximize production, put them in a square pattern.
For lumberyards, you can maximize production by placing your trees in a checkerboard and placing lumberyards *not on top of each other* so that two yards can use the same tree.
If you want to minimize lumberyard production, you can just place them next to one tree at a time.
Finally, late game, using taverns and markets effectively gives you fine-tuned control over your deck.
3. This might be an exploit: if you place 10 houses together (getting a mill), then place one house next to the group, you can then use "remove" on two of the group houses. If placed properly, you can combine your new house with the remaining group. This both maximizes lumber/field production (because the final house played is in the center of four houses) and gets you a new mill with only two new houses placed! Same goes for stone houses.
I beat the game and decided to keep going. Really enjoyed it. The map seems infinite. It would be cool if I could click and drag to access more of the map. I could have kept going, but I ran out of room.
hey, impressive kingdom. what do you mean by click and drag to access more of the map? you can use WASD to move the camera or middle mouse button to pan the camera.

Sid Meyers better watch out, this is the civilization game i was looking for! Love this.
I did manage to soft lock my game by clicking too fast, so my best run died early. But it was a blast!
Amazing game ! A bit laggy once over 500 pops even with my high spec pc. Still very fun while doing something else !

Also Don't add a save function. People will the save and reload if the fail further down the line.

I hope this takes you far. Really deserved!
I really like the calmness of this game. Its so chill and fun. But still delivers a carrot in front of your nice. Highly recommended.
how can i save my game?
you cant save. no save here
I tried another run. I lost here because I had so much Mill cards and Quarry but don't have Wheat/Hop or Stones on the map.
The lag's constantly increasing the longer you play tho xd
Finally finished with a castle. Not pretty but successful. This game is very fun and well designed.
I thought there were so much more after completing the castle, turns out that's it. I can tell that this game has a great potential.
The pier bug is so broken since doing the normal way would minimize your expansion
A fun little game! I've been dying because I run out of gold and have too many cards, I think I need a new strategy.
Took me a minute to figure out but you have to keep your hand full as much as you can so you can get Hops and Wheat out for gold , use Remove cards to place Bakeries for maximum gold, use Fish Shops and Taverns well.
Fail to finish the castle. Have near 100 cards in my deck 😅
Great game though 👍

This game is the single most addicting game on this website! Once you get to that stage where you cant lose, its too hard to stop!
I love your game!!!
Tiny Kingdom Gameplay

This is a great game! :)
Love from Brasil, great game
LOVE FROM TAIWAN
great game
thought i had ran out of space but then i exited out of Fullscreen mode and i had an extra few tiles on the outside. Finished the demo with 410 pop but i think i could have gone higher if i continued
you can move around using WASD or arrow keys
WOAH
if you think that's crazy I just hit 500 and no matter what I do I cant see the whole kingdom
the only end in sight is either lag or the looming zombie threat lol
Fun game! Congrats.♥
The most peaceful game I have ever played! Nice game!
We love the game. I(44M) only made it to a population of around 115, my son(11) completed the demo.
It's very well done, congrats on the achievement.

Hey, thank you for the report. We just rolled out 0.4.10 with the fix.
Somehow every time I get a mill, the game thinks it's a new discovery. (This pushed its way past "annoying" and into "quirky and charming".) A small issue with what's otherwise quite enjoyable.
We just rolled out 0.4.10 with disabling forced discovery menu

Does anyone know how to get to the sand-land area in the pictures?
So much fun! Great game.
The text in the game is too small to read. This game hurts my eyes.
Thank you, really enjoyed.
My observations, seeing I guess this site is appreciative of feedback:
As others have said, pretty overly tough due to too much luck involved, esp at the start and esp with trees being so sparse and random etc.
End up needing to put so many piers around to gain island that it ends up super cluttered with piers.
Maybe a zoom would be good.
Also a way to shuffle the cards and re-deal? Might make for a cool way to up chances once things start getting tight.
Great game, thanks

Oh my god! I missed that. I could have kept building! :
