Let Them Trade

Let Them Trade is a city-building game in which you found cities, produce and trade resources, and protect the kingdom’s economy from bandits. You choose where to place buildings, while cities independently manage their citizens’ needs, budgets and resources.

Build and trade

Resources are scattered across the map, and founding cities lets you acquire them. Cities buy and sell goods on their own, and you receive a percentage of taxes from these trades. Wealthier cities pay more generously, while poorer ones are stingier; happier citizens also pay more taxes, increasing a city’s revenue. You can buy goods through the castle for various needs and improvements, trade strategically for profit or store supplies for harder times.

Protect the economy

Wealth attracts robbers, so you send your knights to protect cities or scout new lands. The game includes research into production buildings and resources, as well as a campaign in which you help the king and his advisor, Mr. Nuts, prepare for a special event.

Game modes and scenarios

You can play in sandbox mode or take on scenarios with different challenges. A built-in scenario editor lets you create and share your own scenarios through the Steam Workshop. The game also offers a relaxing city-building option without outside threats, while its economic systems run independently.
