Simulation/1849
1849 is a city management game for tablets and PCs, set during the California Gold Rush. With all of the peril and possibility of the new frontier, 1849 challenges players to build a thriving mining empire in 19th century California. Inspired by games such as Caesar III, SimCity 4, and the Civilization series, 1849 strives to bring an immersive simulation game experience into the mobile age.
The year is 1849, and gold has just been discovered in California. You decide to head out west, to seek fame and wealth in the approaching Gold Rush.
Will you strike gold and become an overnight mining magnate? Or will you build your fortune bit by bit by supplying 49ers with pickaxes and blue jeans?
There's more opportunity here than mere gold dust or the occasional riverbed nugget. The Gold Rush of 1849 transformed California from provincial backwater into an economic powerhouse.
Are you ready to forge a new state with this ragtag group of prospectors and pioneers?
Get ready to stake your claim.
