Dive into the world of Yerba Mate Tycoon, a one-of-a-kind management game where you take the helm of a yerba mate production business. This popular South American beverage, often seen as an alternative to coffee, is the national drink of Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. In this game, you'll have the freedom to create and customize your yerba mates, experiment with over 156 additives, and unlock various upgrades to grow your empire—all without any ads or in-app purchases, ensuring a 100% free experience.

Start by crafting your unique yerba mate blend. Choose from a vast array of additives, each with distinct stats and qualities. Whether you decide to set a competitive price, design an eye-catching logo, or select the perfect package size, your choices will define your product's appeal. Tailor your yerba mate to specific target groups, experiment with different drying methods, and launch marketing campaigns to boost your product's visibility.

As the CEO, you'll manage every aspect of your company. Navigate through the complexities of taxes, maintain a loyal fan base, and oversee your workforce by hiring, firing, and training employees. Monitor your company's rank and loan status, and seize opportunities to acquire other businesses. Your goal is to elevate yerba mate's popularity and outshine the competition, particularly coffee. Engage with a dynamic in-game world filled with events and decisions that shape your journey.

Yerba Mate Tycoon stands out as the premier (and only) game of its kind, offering a casual indie management experience crafted by a single developer.
