When I got to Benin, I first picked up a job in a bakery. So, when I turned 17, I decided to leave for Benin City. I have been living with my mother in Ondo State for the past 16 years. “I didn’t just know what came over me to kill him. The suspect is said to be one of the workers at a sachet water production factory owned by the deceased.Įdo State Police Public Relations Officer, Kontongs Bello who spoke to newsmen while parading the suspect alongside 11 other suspects arrested for various crimes, confirmed that the 17-year-old boy allegedly killed the victim and conspired with two other persons to steal his car.Ĭonfessing to the crime, Nwode said he used a kitchen knife to kill his boss while he was watching television at midnight in his sitting room. Nwode was arrested alongside two accomplices while trying to sell his boss’ car at Uwelu Motor Spare Parts Market, Benin City. A very sad end.The Edo state police command has arrested a 17-year-old boy identified as Chukwuebuka Nwode for allegedly killing his boss, Peter Onoberhie. My final villager, killed by an enormous wolf and his own cow. I tried to drag my cow card over to help me fight it, but the cow attacked me instead of the wolf. While using my last villager to explore a catacombs card, a direwolf pounced. Then a giant rat popped out of the booster pack I'd bought and killed two of my villagers (it has twice as much health as either of my citizens). I had three villagers and a market that doubled my income and my village was flush with apples and mushrooms and cooked meat. In my most successful run so far, which lasted 22 days, things were going smashingly for me. There are even exploration cards, and dropping a villager onto one will take them to a distant meadow or old village to do some nosing around, periodically producing a resource card, a treasure chest, or maybe even a monster. Building a garden will lead to better food production, a market will let you sell cards for more coins, and there are all sorts of other structures of the kind you'd find in traditional village building games. In one game I built an iron mine, stuck a villager in it, and produced a regular supply of ore for crafting or selling. If you don't have enough for everyone, you'll wind up with a fresh corpse card.Įven minor disruptions, like when a rabbit card starts hopping around my screen leaving poop cards everywhere and jostling my neatly arranged stacks of cards around, can add a bit of tension to the casual, gentle vibes.Īs you progress, new and more expensive booster packs introduce idea cards to your village, giving you recipes for building structures, like a house where two villagers can create a baby (unless one starves to death before conception) and the baby can grow into an adult villager.
Every few minutes, night falls and each of your villagers will need to eat.
Eventually, buying a new pack will give you a second villager which will double your workforce but also give you an extra mouth to feed, and there's a ticking clock when it comes to food.
Combine cards (like the flint and stick, which will make a campfire) or sell your spare cards for coins, which can be spent on more booster packs. Drag the villager onto the rock or log and it'll produce a stone, some flint, or a stick. You begin with just a single five-card booster pack, and opening it gives you a villager, a berry bush, a rock, a log, and a coin.ĭrag the villager card onto the berry bush and it'll generate berry cards, which your villager can eat. Stacklands is a village building game played entirely by stacking cards on your desktop. It's not the last villager I'll turn into a corpse in Stacklands, a game from the amazingly prolific Sokpop Collective.
