A handsome Siberian fur-trading euro where the constant push eastward makes every action feel like a small journey.
Who it's for
Euro fans who enjoy Great Western Trail's forward-motion planning and want a 90-minute trek with furs instead of cattle.
Not for you if…
You want direct player conflict or a light ruleset, because this is a proper optimization exercise dressed in furs.
Vibe's take
thinky, smooth, tactical, beautifully produced, forward-driving
Stroganov sends you trekking east through Siberia, one season at a time, chasing the finest furs before winter drags you home again. The clever bit is the rhythm: you are always moving forward, and how far you push, spending horses to reach the juicier spots, shapes which actions you can even take. Yurts, hunting lodges and the Tsar's wishes stack into a satisfying point engine, and four years pass quicker than you would think. A warm, handsome euro with just enough bite, the kind where you plan three moves ahead and still curse whoever grabbed your village.
