M.U.L.E.

M.U.L.E. is a turn-based strategy game where four players compete as colonists developing an alien planet. You'll claim plots of land—rivers, plains, mountains—and outfit them with M.U.L.E. units to produce Food, Energy, Smithore, or Crystite. Each resource feeds different needs: Food keeps colonists alive, Energy powers production, Smithore builds more M.U.L.E.s, and Crystite sells for profit. Between production phases, you can hunt wild Wampus for Crystite or gamble at the pub. The economy runs on supply and demand, so hoarding a scarce resource lets you set prices when rivals need it. Land auctions and random events shake up each round. Four alien races offer different starting advantages. It's a competitive resource sim where reading the market matters as much as what you produce.
