Materials: paper, dice.

Players roll 1d6 onto the paper marking the spot where it lands. Number rolled is CREDIT. They draw a boundary around their spot, marking a SECTION which is PASTURE (SOIL 12).

Draw a river (WATER 12) between opposite corners, winding around each spot.

Players choose an IMPERATIVE and describe the backstory of their character:

- VOLUME (extracting maximum output)
- VITALITY (maintaining healthy ecosystem)

Each TURN, players resolve an action, narrating in character and drawing landscape changes on the paper.

STOCK

Spend 1 CREDIT to add 1d6 (max 3d6) to HERD.

YIELD

Roll HERD dice. Add to CREDIT, subtract from SOIL and WATER (choose balance between stats).

FIX

Spend 1 CREDIT for:

- Nitrates (SOIL +2, WATER -1)
- Irrigation (YIELD +2, WATER -1)
- Riparian planting (WATER +1)

GROW

SOIL +1/turn.

- PASTURE -> WEEDS  (1 TURN)
- WEEDS   -> SCRUB  (3 TURNS)
- SCRUB   -> FOREST (9 TURNS)

CLEAR

- FOREST -> PASTURE (3 TURNS)
- SCRUB  -> PASTURE (2 TURNS)
- WEEDS  -> PASTURE (1 TURN)

OUTCOMES

If WATER reaches 0, SOIL-1/turn for SECTIONS touching the river.

VOLUME forfeits if CREDIT or SOIL reaches 0.

VITALITY claims victory if they GROW FOREST.

Game ends with players concluding their narration of what happened and why.
