? Description ?
Now is your chance to become a pioneering, gold mining mogul and
create a frontier Boom Town! The hit online game is now available
to play anywhere, anytime.
Wild West charm meets high tech explosives in this mash up quest
for gold and glory.
Start your days with a little capital, a small truck and the
dream of building an empire where the streets are paved with gold.
You'll need strategy and cunning to find the best mining spots,
manage your running costs and time the gold market to hit the big
time.
Grow your mining enterprise well and you'll be able to expand
your business into city planning, building saloons, shops and parks
to boost your wealth. As you build, settlers will flock to your
town pursuing their own slice of the thriving economy, building
homes and communities around your businesses.
Soon your town will take on a life of its own, booming out of
control. When settlers desperate for a piece of the action start
setting up camps near your mine, you may have to make tough
decisions. Let them settle, take their taxes and mine elsewhere or
evict them swiftly with well placed explosives, the choice is
yours.
? What the people say about Boom Town ?
JayIsGames: 4.6/5
"This game is COMPLETELY addictive. The updates are well-placed,
by having to balance between city building, buying land, and
upgrading your supplies gives this an interest/investment ratio
that is extremely high."
"Addicting doesn't even begin to explain it..."
"This is a awesome game that is good when you want to relax
Thanks thepodge for this"
