This is an incredible game and I strongly recommend anyone looking for a serious challenge in the context of city building/management to give this one a try.

Before playing this, I never played any kind of city builder game - it really was like being thrown in the deep end. For the first few days, you've got a stockpile of coal, wood and steel to rely on to build the most basic buildings. After that it's a constant struggle to ensure that resources are not depleted, your people do not starve and that you develop the city to accommodate for much colder temperatures. Politics also plays a key role as people will oppose some of your laws (which you have to enact as everyone would otherwise die) and you have to keep them content or you will be deposed.

A lot to unravel and definitely worth your buy.
