About the game

Burp is a fairly light and entertaining game where players use rocks and small planks to build docks, fish for fruit and eventually evolve. Poorly built docks will crumble and no fishing will take place. Bigger docks will reach farther into the ocean and enable a larger harvest. Fishermen, Traders and Fighters are then placed in the villages, quarry or woods to collect materials (rock and wood), foil your opponents (steal their rocks) and fish for knowledge. The fruits of knowledge are eventually used to evolve yourself and win the game.
