King of Dragon Pass was unique among the "one more turn" games of the late 90s. It didn't have any tactical combat, it didn't have any micromanagement, it didn't try to be a world building game. It was essentially a high-level economic and political simulator set in the low-magic fantasy world of Glorantha (based on a little-known pen and paper fantasy RPG). What set it apart is the personalities that made up your ruling council. You got to know them, they aged and they died, maybe from age, maybe from combat or some other random event. The game was fascinating then, it remains fascinating today.
