Hi should i buy patrician 1&2 or 3. Also is this a difficult game to learn.

Thank you!

I'd go for 3, its modern enough to feel easier to control and it has the rough edges smoothed out but its still challenging

Patrician 3 is basically Patrician 2 + expansion and a misleading title. So it depends on whether the expansion is worth the extra to you or not. Patrician 1 isn't so great so I wouldn't bother taking it into account.

If I remember correctly, P2 was made by a different company and is usually ignored by fans
