Homestead Kingdom
A real farm ยท run as a strategy game

Homestead Kingdom

Ten acres in Michigan. You vote on what gets built. I go outside and build it, on camera, start to finish โ€” and every point, every vote and every mistake goes on the public record.

The premise

It's a game. The map is real.

Most strategy games ask you to build a settlement that doesn't exist. This one has a fence line, a flock, a weather forecast and a mortgage.

You decide

Every episode opens a vote. Three builds, three costs, one winner. You cast yours in the comments with a single word โ€” no account, no sign-up, no app.

I build it

Whatever wins is what I actually build โ€” dug, framed, fenced and filmed from the first post to the last screw. If it goes badly, that's the episode too.

It's all on the record

Points, ranks, votes, predictions and failures all live on this page. If I get something wrong, you'll be able to see that I got it wrong.
