Overview

Anno is a city-building strategy series about turning small settlements into connected economies. Homes, production buildings and trading ships all depend on one another, so a growing city gives you fresh supply problems to untangle. Representative games: Anno 1602 (1998): Build island settlements and connect their resources through trade. Anno 2070 (2011): Shape a future society around industrial power or renewable energy. Anno 1800 (2019): Expand a trading post into a metropolis through interlocking supply chains. Suitable for: For players who enjoy planning layouts, tracing shortages and watching a town grow. The appeal lies in making many small systems work together, then finding room for the next expansion.
