🦊

Vibe's take

Strategic, systematic, elegantly interlocking.

About this game

A colonial-era production engine where you choose roles that trigger actions for everyone — but only you get the privilege bonus. Shipping goods, building structures, and managing your plantation workforce creates a deeply interlocking economic puzzle. An aging classic that still holds up remarkably well.
