Let Them Trade
Critic Reviews for Let Them Trade
Let Them Trade doesn’t try to revolutionise the genre, it refines it into something approachable, adorable, and endlessly satisfying. It’s the kind of game you can play with a hot drink on a rainy afternoon, giggling at squirrel antics and smug kings as you expand your mellow little empire. It’s rare to find a game that’s this polished in tone, this generous in spirit, and this delightful to look at. Plus when that game includes a squirrel named Mr. Nuts whispering tax advice into a king’s ear, it deserves recognition. Let Them Trade gets the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.
Let Them Trade is a relaxing, no-pressure title that delivers on its promise of simplicity but falls short when it comes to long-term engagement. Though it doesn’t want to be, this game could really shine if it were more complex, focusing more on its trading mechanics than its charming vibe. With plenty of room for updates, this is a title I would keep an eye on if you aren’t already sold on it.
Although it lacks a bit of challenge, “Let Them Trade” is a fantastic showcase of how to recontextualize trade routes in a way that makes it more compelling and more interesting to convey city planning.
