This is the first time management game I ever played (years ago) and the first my husband has played (this year) for both of us it was addiction at first play. I have replayed this game many times and it remains fun and challenging. The graphics are extremely basic but cute and the music is repetitive without being grating on the ears.
This game is a perfect introduction to time management because it doesn't involve frantic mouse clicking and eye-flicking to find crucial resources. Instead you have a goal, and you have specific building sites and characters with specific skills and within a set time limit you must build and place characters to meet the goal.
