Kindling

Best played on a computer.

Kindling starts with a campfire on a single tile and a handful of villagers. Clear the land, build cabins, put people to work, and get them through the winter. The board grows ring by ring as the village does, all the way to 9×9.

Food, firewood, tools and clothing all have to keep up with a growing village. Children are born and newcomers arrive in spring. Winter is long, and a cold village gets sick.

Your village saves in your browser, so you can close the tab and come back to it.

This is an early version. If you play it, I'd love to hear how far you got.
