Welcome to Arle In Fields of Arle, created by Uwe Rosenberg, one to two players live as farmers in the small and peaceful town of Arle in East Frisia. The flax grown in the land surrounding the village makes it a profitable place to work and live.

Travel and Prosper Once you’ve made headway in clearing fields and stocking up goods, it's time to make your produ
