My husband and I used to play a much earlier version of this game when we were newlyweds. We were so excited when this new version was released! It's just as much fun, if not more now with the extras and upgrades, as it was "back in the day!"

As a sometime Ceasar III addict, I can tell you this is not just another city-builder game. You start out as a lowly merchant with limited funds & one or two ships in a hometown of your choosing. You then have to decide what goods to buy, load onto your ship(s), & where to take them to sell. But you have to be careful because the more you buy, the more the price goes up. Conversly, the more you sell, the lower the price drops. After you get some money & clout, you can start building factories, housing for the residents, more ships (four different types) & trading offices in other cities. Some goods require raw materials which you usually have to import from other cities. Others are basic foods which you must provide to the people, or they get angry and leave town, leaving your factories idle. After you move up the ranks of society to Patrician level, you can be elected Lord Mayor & become eligible for missions (founding a city, hunting pirates) which will put you on the track to becoming the next Alderman- leader of the Hanseatic League. Eventually, you will become as rich as Bill Gates, with feets of ships carrying goods all over 1300s Europe. That is, if pirates, plagues & Princes don't bankrupt you.

This is a very good game. But I am not as good a player as I should be and so I find it very challenging. I believe an accomplished player could find this a great, fun game.
