Deichgraf

Deichgraf is a village-building and resource-management game set in 16th-century East Frisia. As a Dike Warden, you build and manage a village around its church, then adapt to different scenarios as you defend it from storm surges and heavy rain.

Build and supply your village

The church forms the village center, and you must build everything your village needs nearby. A lumberjack periodically produces wood, farms provide food and houses bring in thalers. Each building also consumes certain materials, so you need to manage your resources as you expand.

Hold back the water

Dikes and low-lift pumps can keep approaching water at bay or move it away from the village. Dikes help against storm surges, but cannot stop heavy rain. To drain excess rainwater, you can use Siels, pumps and ditches; this can dry flooded buildings and let production resume.

Face the scenarios

The game includes different scenarios, each with its own challenges and increasingly difficult tasks. You must adjust your approach to each situation to gain the upper hand against the water.
