I enjoyed "Die Fugger" a lot. Unfortunately it never saw the success of "The Patrician".

The following funny little side story might have contributed to that:

The game's publisher Sonflower was sued by a descendant of the Fugger family because they claimed the game puts the name of his family in a bad light. They won and "Die Fugger II" could not be sold anymore. "Die Fugger III" appeared under the name "Die Gilde".

Oh, didn't know the game I know as "The Guild" had a longer past.

It had 2 more sequels after Die Gilde, in fact.

die Fugger, best Game of my childhood! thanks for the reminder!
