Some of that might be hyperbole, but this is still a brilliant and incredibly in-depth historical strategy game that does away with the usual guns and bombs and instead focuses on the birth of capitalism.

Our main complaint when the game came out a couple of years ago was that it lacked a solid tutorial and in-game rulebook, but it looks like updates since then may well have rectified that.

And right now you can grab the game for just £3.99 / $3.99 by following this link. And we reckon if you're a fan of strategically making a whole wodge of cash, you should definitely check it out.
