Set in late-medieval Europe, the game casts you as a young person leaving home to make a life in a city. Choose a city, background, and profession, then work toward building a commercial dynasty.
Run businesses by hiring and managing workers, producing and trading goods, and protecting your property from thieves and competitors. You can also use tactics such as bribery, blackmail, kidnapping, and sabotage to get ahead.
Build influence as well as wealth by seeking government office and affecting city politics. When a character dies, continue managing the family’s commercial empire through later generations.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its economic freedom, varied professions, and mix of business, politics, and family progression. Its atmosphere and music are also frequently appreciated, with nostalgia shaping many positive reactions. Other reviewers find it difficult to use or poorly aged, and several report crashes or compatibility problems.
