Tame the wilderness and build a thriving frontier town. The game starts with you and your wagon. There are some crops to harvest for which you get coins. Chickens to feed and once you do this your game is started.
On their Facebook page this is what FrontierVille has to say
Howdy Pardner! Come join us on the frontier, where you’ll carve out a home in the wilderness and raise a family. There may be bears and snakes, but there’s gold too, and your fellow pioneers are there to help!
This is very much like FarmVille accept your farm is now your homestead. Some of the objectives include growing your own crops to feed your family and keep your livestock from running away and eventually growing into a frontier town. There is a lot more intelligence in the game. Saplings can grow into trees and bears can attack your farm.
Zynga has put in considerable though and effort into creating this game. Social games are different from PC games and one thing we notice is all the good items on social games come for cash and not so much for skill. This is a fad that has lost Zynga and other social game makes millions of fans.
People are always looking for something new and newer fads.
