  • Anno 1701 (Colonization meets Caesar)

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I bought this one along with a few other DS titles a couple of weeks ago.

As the title says, it is a cross between Colonization and Caesar. Essentially you're on a fictional group of islands with similarities to the New World in the ~1600's/1700's era. There's trade, military conflict, competition, campaigns. The goals are fairly similar to the goals in colonization, whereas the gameplay is more along the lines of the PC title Caesar (which is sort of like Sim City, for those unfamiliar).

For anyone who is a fan of this sort of genre, this isn't necessarilly a must have, but it is one I recommend.
