London sleeps, you do business
NIGHT SOIL
The scent of wealth in the darkest alleys
The city is growing, and with it its waste, but what to the nobles is just unsightly waste, to you is the raw material for a business empire. As fog envelops the neighborhoods and the lights go out, your wagons begin their tireless journey through the cobbled streets.
It's an economic and logistical strategy board game where you play as a Gong Farmer in historical London. You'll need to plan efficient routes, manage your wagon's limited capacity, and anticipate your opponents' moves to secure the best resources before dawn.
The winner isn't the one who gets his hands the least dirty, but the one who can create the fastest supply chain between the residential neighborhoods and the vendors outside the walls. Every dead end and every rival cart can cost you precious coins in this race against time and cargo capacity.
It's the game for those who love optimizing narrow paths and are looking for an unusual historical theme, far from the usual castles and dragons, where the economy is literally tangible.
Why NIGHT SOIL gets stuck in your head
The night-time setting and macabre yet historical theme create a total immersion in old London.
You will physically feel the limits of your wagon, forcing you to make painful choices about what to take and what to leave behind.
The streets are narrow and the paths change: blocking an opponent in an alley is a strategic satisfaction.
Fertilizer prices fluctuate, and selling at the right time can mean the difference between wealth and bankruptcy.
The woodcut-style illustrations perfectly evoke the era, making the board a small masterpiece.
Pushing too far for a premium load could cost you the best selling time.

Gong Farmer Tycoon
Optimize the recycling cycle
The heart of the game lies in the precise management of your movement. Every step of your cart must be calculated: entering narrow neighborhoods allows you to collect precious resources, but exiting to reach composting points requires impeccable planning to avoid being blocked by rivals.
There's no room for blind gambling, only for calculating risk. Deciding whether to immediately pick up a small but safe load or wait for more material to accumulate is the constant dilemma that will keep you on edge until the final delivery.
Satisfaction comes when your collection and sales cycle closes perfectly just before everyone else, turning a cart full of scraps into a bag full of gold coins.
Where it rewards you
Chaining movement, collection and sales into a single fluid shift will make you feel like a logistics genius.
Placing your tank in the right spot to slow down your opponent is an indirect but powerful interaction.
Upgrading your tank's capacity at the right time unlocks new opportunities for exponential earnings.
Fulfilling specific merchant requests grants you bonuses that can turn the rankings around.
The shifts are quick and incisive, keeping the pace high and the attention always on the scoreboard.
The final round of deliveries is always heart-pounding, where every single movement point counts.
Where it tests you
Night Soil is a board game that challenges your ability to adapt to an ever-changing market. You'll need to master the pick-up and delivery mechanics typical of economic strategy games while managing your wagon's limited resources. Each game of this Grail Games title requires you to read the map and anticipate the competition to dominate the nighttime trade.
