Together with a group of pioneers, you've left behind civilization to settle along the shores of Boonlake—a long-forgotten region once inhabited by humans. This uncharted territory calls out to you! Become a vital part of a new community and dedicate yourself to the greater good. As you explore the landscape, you'll build houses and settlements, raise cattle, produce raw materials, and develop infrastructure. Strive to automate these processes and seize the opportunity to create a better life in Boonlake.

Boonlake is an expert-level game designed by Alexander Pfister, where you'll work to improve your life and the lives of your fellow settlers in this new land—but how you do so is entirely up to you! The game introduces a unique action mechanism that ensures each playthrough is different. Will you focus on expanding the territory? Contributing to the development of infrastructure? Or perhaps you'll follow your own personal agenda? Choose wisely, as every action you take benefits all players.
