Overview

Anno 1800 is a city-building and economic strategy game developed by Ubisoft Mainz. Set in the nineteenth century, it asks you to build cities, supply chains and trade routes across islands as the industrial revolution transforms society.

The Game

The Anno series has long been especially popular in German-speaking countries. Anno 1800 is widely regarded as one of its finest entries: dense with detail, but calm in pace.

Gameplay

Each population tier demands new goods, which demand new production chains, which demand new islands. Balancing it all is a satisfying logistics puzzle.
