Even though native Mac support is not currently available, there are ways to have Banished running on your fruity computer.

Any Wine distribution for MacOSX - I achieved a running Banished with Wineskin but the critical tool is Wine, in its 1.7.10 version at least
A DRM-free version of Banished, 32bits

Install your chosen Wine package
Launch the Banished installer using Wine like this: wine msiexec /i BanishedInstaller_1.0.0_x32.msi
Once installed, go to the drive_c/Program Files/Shining Rock Software LLC/Banished and rename VideoDX11-x32.dll to VideoDX11-x32.dll.old
In this same directory, launch the Application-x32.exe like this: wine Application-x32.exe
You can create a desktop icon to launch Banished terminal free by following the instructions here

The defaults should work, and going through the 5 first tutorials went flawlessly.

Using Wineskin have the added convenience to transform Banished into a self-contained application.

As Wine is originally a Linux tool, this solution should work too.
