The Guild GE is simulation game set in Europe in the 1400s. It's centered around managing your business(including but not limited to innkeeper, priest, carpenter, thief) and securing wealth and (political) influence for your family over many generations. To achieve your goal in becoming the wealthiest and most influential family you can also use more shady methods like bribing others to gain a public office or sabotage enemy businesses. The game has it's problems, for example the IA does a lackluster job of running your businesses for you or its' own for that matter. Furthermore the combat system is, in my opinion, not the best the world has seen and is my least favorite part. But still I find my way back to this game time and again. Seeing your character and his children(of one you will take possession upon your death) draws my in and by now I have spent many weekends in early Renaissance Europe killing and bribing my way to the top.
