California dreamin'

1849 a city management sim set during the California Gold Rush that captivated millions to seek fame and wealth, is available on GOG.com for $12.74 (15% off the full price) until 9:59 AM GMT on 15 May 2014.

1849 is a memorable year in American history. It put a little town known as San Francisco on the map and transformed it into a boomtown. Thousands of gold seekers from all over the world, colloquially known as forty-niners, came to the territory of California looking to stake their own claim. It's because of this mad rush for gold that California has become known as a place where wealth can be found by sheer luck and audacity.

1849 follows the California Gold Rush as you start with a humble settlement and work to make it a booming, bustling center of trade. Hire workers, build a wide variety of buildings--ranging from saloons to humble workers' houses--and even manage trade networks.

Head west and strike it rich with 1849 for $12.74 (15% off the full price) before 9:59 AM GMT on 15 May 2014. 100% DRM-free ga-ron-teed, pardner.

A month actually (09.04.2014) but oh well, I also have a problem with the concept of time ;)

Shame on me that I haven't even installed the game. I will try to check it out in the evening and I'll give you guys and gals my first impression.
Saw a video about it on tom.io channel, looked good, like a very fast version of Zeus and Pharaoh.

Our testers said that it's more in the vein of the Zeus/Pharaoh city builders, if that helps :)
