Township

What is Township and how does it work?

Township is a casual city-building game published by Playrix. Players grow a town from a small settlement, planting crops, raising animals, and running production buildings that turn raw goods into items the town can sell or use.

Progress comes from a mix of farming, trading, and decorating. Players complete tasks and events to unlock new areas and buildings over time.

What's new in version 39.1.2?

The latest update, dated 2026-10-16, centers on a season of story adventures. Players can earn resources to develop and decorate their town through Western and Halloween themed passes, and take on new storylines that involve the town's sheriff and other characters.

The update also brings new regatta seasons with sailing routes to Bermuda and the Hudson, a new Stained Glass element for match-3 puzzles, and two new town buildings: a Coworking Space and an Ancient House.

Is Township free, and does it have ads or in-app purchases?

Township is free to download from Google Play. The listing states that the game does not contain ads, but it does offer in-app purchases.

Purchases are optional, but players should be aware that the game includes paid items, so it is worth setting purchase limits on the device if children will be playing.

Android requirements and download size

Township is distributed through Google Play. Exact device requirements and the current file size depend on the device and version, so check the Google Play listing before installing, especially on older phones or with limited storage.

Pros and cons

On the plus side, the game is free, has a large and well-rated player base with a 4.7 out of 5 average from nearly 13 million ratings, and offers a steady stream of new content.

On the downside, in-app purchases are part of the design, and the game's pace can feel slow for players who want fast progression. Its long-running nature also means the library of content can be overwhelming for newcomers.

Who is Township best for?

Township suits players who enjoy relaxed, long-term building games and short puzzle breaks. It is a good fit for those who like planning a town over weeks rather than finishing quickly.

It is less suited to players who want fast-paced action or who object to optional purchases in free games.
