Spice Road is now available from
Aartform Games,
offering a trade simulation based on the 18th century spice trade that made
east/west relations of the time so darned spicy. A playable demo is available
for your sampling pleasure, and they are also working a
Greenlight campaign to establish trade relations with the nation of
Steam.
Here's word:
You are a colonial governor in the 18th Century, building a
town on the Spice Road in a time of war and discovery. More than spice travels
your roads - musket armies, philosophies, and power plays that span the globe
are at your control. From palace to monastry, trade post to smugglers den - your
town is worthless without the nobles, monks, merchants and rogues that chose to
live in it - and keeping them all happy at the same time is never
simple.
