5 unicorns + IPO! And stood up to the Patent Troll

If anyone is interested in these kinds of social resource management games, I recommend FrostPunk[0]. It's a stressful survival-based RTS where you're trying to keep the last human colony alive on earth through a world ending environmental event.

I’ve never considered describing FrostPunk as stressful, but it really is! Same with Banished. Can highly recommend both.

What makes it so stressful?

Frostpunk requires a lot of resource management and focuses a lot on hard choices. For example, choices between letting people die in the wilderness or taking them in when you may not have enough food to feed everyone.

i'd also like to recommend Capitalism Lab, together with Digital Age DLC

Dammit this looks interesting. Wish it was a free web based game (or at least had a freemium version to try it out before buying)

it’s dirt cheap and totally worth buying, even if you don’t intend to play it often

its economy simulation, including stock market is the best in class

May I know how you found this game? They don't seem to be listed on Steam.

i was searching for tycoon games and saw it on a "Best Tycoon Games" list

did a quick google just now and the game is still on every list: https://gamertweak.com/best-tycoon-games/
