The Promised Land

'The Promied Land' is a simply enjoyable game in the mold of Virtual Village style games but a lot more fun and less difficult. It is ideal if you want a simple break or want to introduce the young ones to something more complex than Angry Birds. Your colonists arrive in a new land and must build houses, farms, and other constructions. You must find items you need to progress your tiny settlement into a larger one and build up a larger population. Along the way you meet natives, trade with the motherland, and battle pirates.
The only negative point I have is that the game has not been updated to run under newer Mac OSes. If you use anything above OS 10.10, you are out of luck.

The game is easy to play and has a nice atmosphere.Unfortunatelly the exact tasks of the characters are not always clear but nvertheless it is playable without any problems.

When the game works, I enjoy it a lot. Sadly, it seems to be a complete crapshoot whether the game will work. Specifically the fort may or may not finish building and if it doesn't finish building, you really can't do the game.
