About the game
The sun rises over the tulip fields in the valley, where tall windmills stand against the horizon and ships wait to carry your blooms across the sea. In Windmill Valley Duel, two rival horticulturists compete for prestige, wealth, and victory by cultivating the finest tulips, investing in powerful enhancements, and claiming the most strategic ports in this vibrant and picturesque land. In this valley, you are not alone. Your windmill’s gears interlock with your opponent’s, forcing every decision you make to send ripples through the land while setting your rival’s plans in motion. Will you offer them an advantage to gain the edge you need, or will you wait for the perfect move? Plant your tulips with care. Build your windmills with purpose. Navigate the seas for trade. In a world where beauty and timing reign supreme, only the best horticulturist blooms victorious! —description from the publisher
