Falta un poco de desarrollo y estaría al novel del mismísimo game dev tycoon ### 5/5 — Reseña *2025-04-02, version 1.52* Muy bueno falta que añadan mas contenido ### 5/5 — Good game but I have something to add on *2024-07-16* It’s a really good game, but I think that this would be a good add-on to the game have it so you can see the Yerba you made in person and play around with it I know it would be hard but it would be real cool also there is a bug with the loaning money but other than that really recommend game 5 stars ### 5/5 — Good! *2021-12-08, version 1.11* This is a brilliant game. I am originally from Argentina so I love that a game celebrating our culture ### 2/5 — Poor tutorial *2021-11-30, version 1.1* Tutorial poor... UI not intuitive ### 1/5 — A lack of diversity *2021-11-30, version 1.1* It’s difficult to get invested in the game when there are no characters of color to choose from. ### 4/5 — Very Fun *2021-11-12, version 1.1* Very fun but when I saved my game and started a second one, it wouldn’t let me return to my first game. Please fix! Otherwise great game ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2021-10-29, version 1.1* Simplemente bueno ### 4/5 — Good but one thing *2021-10-27, version 1.1* I love this game, however right before you lose and have to restart, you’re stuck in a weird position where you can’t ask for a loan and you have to guess the lucky number. What is WILDLY ANNOYING about this is that if I could just click off that screen, I could click “sell drink” at the top to sell my 100% drink to everyone so I could get out of bankruptcy and not lose! Please listen and change this !!!!! ### 4/5 — Really really good, but needs just a little more *2021-10-24, version 1.08* Okay so I love this game. It’s challenging in a way you wouldn’t expect and actually keeps you entertained. However, I feel since you can research everything fairly early on and once you get pretty far it’s feels so repetitive with only Yerba making left to do. I would love if there was side products . Like add a croissant or fruit bowl for extra hype plus you should be able to pick the food and they can boost the Yerba rating. Just a thought but really great job ## Frequently asked questions about Yerba Mate Tycoon ### What is Yerba Mate Tycoon?
