About 1849
1849 is a city management game set during the California Gold Rush. With gold newly discovered, you head west to seek fame and wealth. You can pursue riches through mining or build a fortune by supplying 49ers with goods such as pickaxes and blue jeans.
Build thriving towns
You build towns, populate them with workers, and provide housing, food and entertainment. To keep your settlements thriving, you manage and coordinate extensive production and trade networks. Towns can grow from mining camps into bustling cities, with buildings lining streets inspired by California’s Gold Country.
Game modes
Campaign mode follows the development of the Gold Rush. Each city scenario has its own starting conditions, victory goals and obstacle events.
Sandbox mode generates a map for your location based on its geography, precipitation, available resources and starting lot size. Locations span environments from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Resources
You can dig up, farm, refine or manufacture over 50 resources as you develop complex towns and cities.
