In the worker placement game Fields of Arle, set in the German region of East Frisia, players develop a manor and expand their territory through peat cutting and dyke construction. The game spans nine half-years with alternating summer and winter periods, and each period allows or prohibits specific player actions. Different and detailed production processes enable players to create goods necessary for the expansion of their manor. Additionally, trading with neighboring communities can help the player acquire the necessary resources or goods for construction and expansion.
