Caffeinated Games presents Farmlands - PC now but it might head to WiiWare...if you make it happen

I received an email from the Caffeinated Games gang, and attached was their RP for Farmlands…a board/card game for the PC. We’ve been keeping a watch on Caffeinated, in the hopes of seeing their first game come to the Wii or DS. Now that the title has been announced, the Caffeniated gang has told me that they are looking into making this a WiiWare release in the future. If you want to see this game hit WiiWare, leave a comment and let the Caffeinated Games guys know!

Randle, WA – June 18th, 2008. Announcing Farmlands the first title by Caffeinated Games. Farmlands is a Board and Collectible Card Game currently slated for the PC.

In Farmlands you build farms, plant crops, and battle for control of land. The goal of farmlands is straight forward….Increase your net worth to meet the goal of the map or have the largest net worth when time runs out. Players move around the outside of the board building farms and planting crops. If a player lands on your farm they will have to pay a toll equal to the value of the farm and its connected crops. It gets interesting when you start connect multiple farms together to combine their values. To prevent other players from connecting farms a player can initiate a battle by placing one of their crops on an opponents square. The outcome of battles between players are determined by slot machine mini games.

The collectible aspect of the game comes in with the pack of cards you are drawing your items and seeds from. During your turn you will draw items or seeds from your pack to use in the game. Seeds are used to plant crops or boost your attack in combat. Items are used to modify the behavior of things in the game. At the end of any map in single or multi player the player will receive additional items or seeds which they can use to customize their pack.
