About this game

Build-a-lot - The Elizabethan Era Strategy Game invites you to become a master builder in Elizabethan England. Your task is to construct homes and structures across regions such as Devonshire, Salisbury, Dover, and London. Begin with basic cobs, then progress to cottages and Tudor houses. Upgrade your properties to increase rent, buy materials as needed, and sell houses for profit. With guidance from local leaders, achieve money goals and revive England's glory under Queen Elizabeth I. This strategy game blends resource management, investment, and historical charm.

How to Play:

Start by building cobs on empty lots, as they are the most basic homes. Build two cobs to earn rent money for the royal coffers. In later levels, you will have more houses to build as targets. Upgrade your buildings to generate more income, though upgrades cost money—think of them as investments. If you lack materials, buy them from the Materials section. Built and upgraded houses can be sold on the market for profit. Mix rent and sales to increase revenue and reach each level's money goals. Travel between regions and follow local leaders' guidance, such as building two cottages and one cob in Norwich to raise rent to 4,500.
