Just FYI. Redeemable on Steam. You can get two copies and gift one if you want. They don’t care.

I didn’t even know of this online store. I already own the game, just posting to say it’s a great management game and worth a try. Especially if free 😛

A great city-building game with an amusing storyline and an impeccable soundtrack.

_¡Viva el presidente!_

I wouldn’t really call it a city building game. I’m not fan of them, while I always come back to tropico from time to time. Yes, you’re developing your island but since you decide on everything (up to who will work), set up policies, faces elections (or not) and rebels, there’s so much more to it than “city building”.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be free any more. Shame I didn’t see this before. I blame thread games!
