> Polder: *a piece of low-lying land reclaimed from the sea or a river and protected by dikes, especially in the Netherlands.*
Build windmills to reclaim land from the sea, allowing for the growing of very valuable tulips!
Instructions:
- Mouse wheel or right click to rotate tiles
- Tiles can only be placed on land
- Windmills drains the water in a 5x5 area and provide a starting point for flowers
- Flowers must be placed next to at least one matching colour or a windmill

- Longer chains score more points

What is a polder?!
There have been quite a few questions regarding theme for our entry. Dikes and polders are used to reclaim land that is underwater for the purpose of agriculture. Almost a third of the Netherlands is situated below sea level!
Here is one of the images I used as inspiration for the design:
Changelog:

2021-05-05
