Add your rating. The game is similar to FrontierVille and its ilk, requiring players to complete quests that include clearing away debris, constructing buildings, harvesting crops, and raising livestock.
However, instead of having to ask friends for building materials to finish buildings, players instead ask them to staff buildings friends take on the position of workers in order to finish construction -- which results in less wall spam, but still requires players to have friends who are actively playing the game. Another difference is that players discover new bits of terrain one step at a time by spending special machete icons which represent chopping down the underbrush.
GnomeTown is a run-of-the-mill social sim game that doesn't play much differently from other offerings in the same genre, but its enchanting and unique setting does help it to stand out. Keeping with the gnomes' tiny stature, scenery like mushrooms and dandelions look huge, and the "livestock" that the gnomes raise includes snails and ladybugs. The game could use more interesting quests to go along with the adorable helpers that gradually get unlocked over time such as a pair of weasels wearing giant turtleneck sweaters ; as it stands, they seem a bit too much like filler.
The bottom line is: although it's a little short on substance, GnomeTown is a good-looking fantasy-inspired sim for Facebook followers you like to build. Families can talk about GnomeTown 's similarities to other sim games on Facebook. Which is more important, a unique theme or unique gameplay? Families can talk about ways in which GnomeTown requires players to have friends who are also playing the game.

Once the required number of neighbors agree to help you out you will see that the notification on the building has changed and it prompts you to finish it. Click on "Finish" and the building will change into its final form and you will earn XP, coins, and possibly other items as your reward.
You can place more than one of a type of building on your land but you will have to find staff for each building. Tip - It is best to wait until you have a quest prompting you to build a building. For example, if you build a farm before a quest requires it, you will not get credit for the one you have already built. You will have to pay to build another one to get credit for completing the quest. Anytime you complete a task you will see small icons fall to the ground which represent different kinds of rewards.
Collectibles - These vary but you will see an item related to the item you are collecting from. For example if you are collecting from the strawberry bush you will see strawberry items. When you see these items fall to the ground you can either click on them or after a few moments they will automatically add to the running totals. Place your cursor over a building at any time to see a countdown clock indicating when you can collect the next rent payout.
Crops - Crops can be purchased in the market under the crops tab. You will start out with one crop unlocked and as you level up more will become available to you.
Once you place a crop by clicking on an open area of land, you will need to water it. If you place your cursor over the plot you will see how long it will take to water and you can speed up the process if you want to. Tip - Try to keep crops going at all times.
Once you have some of the longer maturing crops unlocked start a few of these before you leave the game for several hours. Bushes - Bushes are different as they are a renewable resource and will produce for you over and over. Strawberry bushes are the first bush available. Remember, they do not disappear like the crops do so place them in a strategic area. If you place several together it will be known as an orchard. You will need to have your animal helpers water the bushes the first time they are grown.
Once mature you will need to harvest them. You will see an orange arrow pointing downward over each bush when it is ready to be harvested. Collectible items will appear from crops and bushes and are important as this is the only way to collect these items. You may, for example, see carrot soup thrown out with the rewards of the carrot crop.
Click on these when you see them. After you progress a few levels you will be introduced to creatures, which are like pets to your animal helpers. Purchase creatures in the market and place them in your town in what you consider a permanent location.
You can always move them later but they must be in your town to be useful to you. You will need to feed the creatures, also known as tending to them, and once you do they will grow until they reach full size. Click on them to feed them and an animal helper will walk over with a bag and start feeding them for the amount of time needed.
You can speed this up if you want to pay to do so. Once finished you will see a gold star over the creature, which when clicked on will allow you to collect rewards. You will need to feed some creatures a second time before they are fully grown such as the snails. Once fully grown you will see an orange down facing arrow over each creature, which means you can click on them to collect funds.
After you collect your rewards you must wait until you can feed the creatures again and there is a countdown clock you can see any time by placing your cursor over the creature.
Creatures include snails, ladybugs, caterpillars, moles, and hummingbirds. More may be added in future game updates. Each creature has a different amount of time they will need to be tended to and will offer varying amounts of reward once completed.
You are given several chances a day to compete with other players in the "Gnomespedition" or "PvP" player versus player feature. This can be found by clicking at the bottom right corner of the game screen. You will see a bandanna type icon along with the number of turns you have left for the day in the upper right hand corner.
You will see a maximum of five turns on the indicator. Once you use these up they will regenerate at a rate of one turn every hour up to a maximum of five turns. How to accumulate points - As you place decorative items around your town you may notice that they have a value associated to them. These values fall into three categories which are:. When you purchase items or when you are gifted items by friends and place them in your town you add to the collective total of each type of points.
If you purchase items with gold bars in the "Special" or "Decoration" menu you can give yourself a huge boost in points in one of the three areas. The number of neighbors you have and helpers appears to play a part in your score as well. It is not known how this is scored but it is best to keep these numbers as high as possible. Do not let decorative items gifted to you just sit in your inventory. Be sure to use them and place them in your town right away.
For example, if neighbors send you five potted flowers each with a party score of four points, placing all of them in your town will increase your party score by 20 points. If they sit in storage they will not count toward this overall total. The higher end items in the market will add hundreds of points to your score so you may want to consider purchasing a few if the rewards in this area are important to you. How to play - Once you click on the bottom right corner icon you will bring up a menu like the one shown in the image above.
Look at the number of wins and losses, as well as the level. You may want to stay with people closer to your level but this isn't always indicative of who will win. If you see someone you want to challenge click on the "Interact" button at the far right. Analyze - Now you will be taken to a screen such as the one shown in the image above.
Before you challenge this person place your cursor over the category area until it turns gold in color. Note the comment at the top of the box.
If it tells you that you can't win in that category then do not attempt to challenge this person. Click on "Back to List" and search for another candidate. It may take a while to win especially in the early levels, but your best bet is to have a lot of neighbors gift you items and place them in your town to get your numbers up.
There is a quest in the game that requires you to win one of five games, which is actually very difficult to do, so concentrate on getting your number up in each of the three categories before you even attempt this feature. If you win a challenge you will earn a large reward and your scores will be posted on the board for others to see. You will not only be challenging your neighbors but people not on your neighbor list that are also playing the game.
Gnome Town is an adventure filled with fantasy and mystery and more than a few clever ideas. At the outset of Gnome Town you learn of the evil gnome king, a powerful being who has taken over the shrouded forest and seemingly sucked all of the life out of it.
Much like in FrontierVille or Ravenwood Fair , a large part of Gnome Town revolves around your constant fight against nature. But back to the lack of energy. Gnome Town still features largely appointment-based gameplay, which means that each action takes a certain amount of time to complete. Harvesting a crop could take a matter of seconds, for instance, while building a barn may take a few hours.
