Have you ever played Farmville? Social City or any other games on Facebook? Well, WeRule is for you. WeRule is a game made by Plus+. It is a free application for ipod touch/iphone users. With WeRule, you rule your own kingdom. You can add friends too. The more friends, the merrier, the merrier, the richer. You can visit their kingdom and earn some gold/xp if you work on their building.

We have this potion-like item called Mojo in WeRule. It make constructions/plantings faster if you use it. For example, you are planting a one-day plant, instead of waiting for a day, just use Mojo and the plant can be harvested right away. Mojos are limited. You can earn it by leveling up. But if you are too addict with this game, you can buy Mojos for $4.99 which is not so practical.
You can also redesign your kingdom by dragging the buildings and all. But I am having a hard time dragging because sometimes it won’t drag. But no big deal, the game is still fun.

The downside of this game is that you need wifi to play. If you dont have a wifi connection, you cant play WeRule. You will only be stuck on the main screen. No social interaction. You cant communicate with your friends in the game. No messaging in-game.
