What is Zen World?

Zen World is a single-player strategy puzzle in which you expand a patch of land among the clouds for your kingdom. You match tile borders, create paths for scouts to reach loot, and open boxes for more tiles and powerups. A technology tree unlocks upgrades, and military camps protect your people.
