Exercising a fondness for establishing trade networks, I'm eagerly diving into a city-building game on Steam, which carries a noticeable resemblance to Settlers of Catan.
In the realm of digital board games, a new gem has emerged that promises an engaging and relaxing experience - "Let Them Trade". This city-building strategy game, developed by Spaceflower, takes you on a journey as a medieval king, tasked with managing and growing a trading kingdom.
At its core, "Let Them Trade" is all about trade. You'll found cities near resources, set up trade routes, and profit from taxing commerce between cities. The game's focus on macroeconomic strategy, supply and demand balance, and semi-autonomous cities that buy and sell goods based on their needs sets it apart from other strategy games.
Exploration plays a significant role in the game. Venture to the far edges of the map to discover new resource nodes for additional cities. Link your cities together through roads and bridges for efficient resource transportation.
But it's not all work and no play. The game offers a blend of strategic planning and a gentle puppeteer-style economy management, steering clear of intense micromanagement. You can even assign specialties like farming, fishing, or woodcutting to your cities.
Bandits may pose a threat, raiding successful cities and stealing resources. In such cases, you'll need to send knights to deal with them. The game also features a variety of modes, including a campaign with quests and sandbox play.
"Let Them Trade" is now available on PC via Steam, allowing players to experience its tabletop-style city building and trade mechanics. Christopher Livingston, a writer for PC Gamer, has been writing about PC games since the early 2000s and is a fan of the game. He appreciates its offbeat simulation games, mods, and tendency to ignore storylines in RPGs.
Players can earn a 25% share of every trade in the game, adding an extra layer of excitement to the trading process. The game's charming, squirrel-led theme and focus on city growth and management make it an appealing choice for strategy game enthusiasts.
