Tide and Throne

★★★★☆ 4.3 Editor rating

Tide and Throne is a strategy game that trusts you to be patient. You manage a cluster of island settlements, juggling trade ships, food, and a council of advisors who all want different things. There's no real-time panic here — you plan, you commit, and you watch it play out.

The clever bit is the council system. Each advisor pushes their own agenda, and ignoring one too long causes friction that ripples into your economy. I spent one whole campaign just trying to keep everyone mildly annoyed rather than furious, which turned out to be the smart play.

It's a thinker, and it respects your time with a clean interface. Not for people who want constant action, but perfect for a quiet evening of planning.
