Grow Your Village! First go to the mine to make money to buy houses and farms for your citizens! The face shows your happiness level, and if the citizens don't have enough food or home space, the happiness will go down, and so will your money. When your in the mine, use the chisel to break rocks and have a chance to get a gem, then use the hand tool to pick up the gems for money. When you have some money go back to the village and click the shop icon to open the shop. Buy a bunch of things from farms to houses to churches, benches, and swings! Once in a while something bad will come... People will randomly spawn though so keep buying houses and farms to feed them. When you open the shop, if you have enough money click what you want to buy, then click where you want to place it.
