New World Ledger

Harvest raw materials from your land, run workshop recipes to refine them into higher-value goods, and spend the right bundle of resources to ring the liberty bell. Reach the liberty target to declare independence.

• Tap a land tile to harvest the raw good it produces
• Run a workshop recipe to convert inputs into manufactured outputs
• Ring the liberty bell when you can afford its cost to earn +1 liberty
• Hit the liberty target in as few actions and as little time as possible for a higher score

• Desktop: click tiles, recipe rows and the liberty bell button
• Phone & tablet: tap the same on-screen buttons, no keyboard needed

• Plan a production chain backward from the bell's cost so nothing is wasted
• Settler, Merchant and Patriot difficulties change the target, pick one that matches your appetite for a long economy
• Stuck? The advisor can auto-run a path to independence so you can study an efficient route

Harvesting raw materials, refining them through workshop recipes and spending bundles of goods is a production chain, and the colonial framing makes it mercantilism.

Requiring refined goods rather than raw ones is the original structure.

That is the system's defining asymmetry. Mercantile policy wanted colonies supplying raw materials and buying back finished goods, keeping the profitable step at home — so a game about refining locally is a game about the thing the arrangement was designed to prevent.
