About this game
In Ranchbound you take charge of your own ranch. Raise cattle, keep your herd healthy, and turn a few head of cattle into a powerful herd. Hire cowboys, assign their duties, and decide how your ranch will grow as new opportunities and risks appear on the frontier.
The world around you is alive: settler towns and Native tribes live their own lives, and your actions can improve their situation or make it much worse. You can invest in local businesses to shape the region’s economy, or focus simply on your own profits.
Key Features:
- Grow your herd:Start with just a few head of cattle, raise newborn calves into mature cows, and build a powerful herd that becomes the foundation of your ranch.
- Hire cowboys:Recruit cowboys and assign them to different duties around the ranch, taking their individual skills and needs into account.
- Expand your ranch:As your herd grows, develop your ranch to manage your livestock more efficiently.
- Build economic influence:Buy land, invest in railroads and other local businesses.
- Survival elements:Keep an eye on your cowboys’ fatigue and morale, and remember that their work deserves a wage. Do not neglect your herd either - disease can devastate your cattle if you are not prepared.
From a modest homestead to a thriving ranch, survive in the Wild West.
