Ranchbound

Ranchbound puts you in charge of a ranch on the frontier. You raise cattle, look after the herd and hire cowboys to handle ranch duties. As opportunities and risks arise, you decide how to develop the ranch and whether to focus on your own profits or influence the surrounding region.

Grow your ranch

You start with a few head of cattle and raise newborn calves into mature cows, building a herd that forms the foundation of your ranch. As the herd grows, you can expand the ranch to manage your livestock more efficiently. Disease can devastate your cattle if you are not prepared.

Manage your cowboys

You recruit cowboys and assign them different duties around the ranch, taking their individual skills and needs into account. Keep track of their fatigue and morale, and pay them wages for their work.

Shape the region

Settler towns and Native tribes live their own lives, and your actions can improve their situation or make it worse. You can buy land and invest in railroads, local businesses and other enterprises to shape the region’s economy, or focus on your ranch’s profits.
