## Description
In Milestones, you and your friends step into the shoes of noble builders, tasked with colonizing a new land. The core idea is to collaborate in expanding the territory by constructing roads that connect cities, establishing bustling marketplaces, and erecting houses for new inhabitants. It's an adventure of expansion and development, where each new milestone you achieve takes you deeper into the country. But don't be fooled; while construction is a collective effort, the task of acquiring materials – wood, stone, grain, and, of course, money – is every player for themselves. You'll need to be clever in developing your own supply network, optimizing trade and resource acquisition for your building projects. The player with the best timing to snatch up the most valuable building sites and master resource management will emerge victorious. Get ready to plan your routes, negotiate wisely, and build your legacy in this strategic challenge!
