Description
Capture territory before your enemy does and snag all the gold you can!
Plant tree lines, discover mountain ranges and construct tower lined castle walls to fortify your land and claim it as your own before your opponent can beat you to it. A 1 or 2 player turn-based strategy/puzzle game inspired by the childhood pen-and-paper classic, with brand new game mechanics and isometric graphics, a skilled AI bot on different difficulty levels and preset scenario maps. Includes Capture and Classic game modes and in-game achievements.

How to Play
The game starts with some posts on the map such as mountains, trees and towers. Player 1 is the red nation, and when you have the sundial it is your turn. You can make a border from any visible post diagonally in 4 directions (but not from gold mines), and you can hover your mouse near a post to see a dotted path to know where you can go. Mouse click to confirm your choice. If the border reaches to an area where there wasn't a post before, one will be created and you can now create borders from there next time. You cannot make borders in the middle of empty space until a path extends from other existing posts into it.
When it is your turn and you make a border that encloses an area of the map, you claim that territory, it will change to your nation's color and you get another turn. In Capture Mode, you can claim multiple spaces in one click, and they don't have to be in a straight line. As long as you close an area to the outside, everything inside is yours. That includes gold mines, which are worth more points than a normal space. You cannot create borders inside already claimed territory.
In Classic Mode, the game begins with all available posts and no gold. Also, you can only capture one space at a time by surrounding it with 4 borders. For instance, you do not claim 4 adjacent spaces in a square that are surrounded by but not separated with borders. Otherwise the same rules apply.

I've always enjoyed the pen-and-paper version, and this pretty much lives up to it.
The gameplay is simple, just enough variety to have replay value. It's not too hard, even on challenging, and overall it only took me about maybe 15 minutes to get all the achievements. All in all, it's a good way to waste an hour.
