Préambule

The game name DaMaGe [damaʒ] in french - means tamping in english - is mostly due to the constraint of the LynxJam (green & green game à la Game Boy - or DMG).

This is not a game about explosions of damages, but a tile placing game where you have to be smart enough to get the highest score.

Tiles

• trees (3 variants)
•  house (3 variants)
