BANNWALD is a free browser game, free to play in the browser.
Above the village the slope fills with snow all winter. Under it runs the pass road, and every day it is open the travellers pay the toll and stop at the inn. That is all the money there is. When the slope lets go, the snow runs down. Most slides stop on the slope; on a bare slope in a hard winter, many reach the road and shut it, and a big one reaches a house.
Build snow fences and rakes to hold the slope this winter. Bring a loaded cell down on purpose with a controlled release. And plant the forest: saplings cost almost nothing, hold nothing their first winter, and once grown they hold the slope and catch the snow that runs into them. A Bannwald is exactly that, the protection forest above an alpine village.
What is in it A slope that settles like a sandpile: 20 by 10 cells, and one cell letting go can set off the cells below it, so most slides are small and a few run a long way. A slope that shows its load as snow: drifts swell as a cell fills and a dark crack opens where the next slide is about to break, so you can see it coming.
Weather on a clock: flurries, storms and blizzards from the west or the east, and a weather post that lets you read them ahead.
