City-builder 1849 moves beyond the Gold Rush in upcoming expansion 1849: Nevada Silver

SomaSim's city-building game 1849 will be getting an expansion pack in mid-September called 1849: Nevada Silver.

This expansion takes place 10 years after the Californian Gold Rush, just across the mountains where silver has been discovered, in Comstock Lode.

There will be six Northern Nevada towns where you'll aim to strike it rich by mining silver and trading with nearby settlements for vital resources.

Technology has moved on in a bit in the time leap, meaning that you'll be able to make use of trains and steam-powered mills, too.

1849: Nevada Silver will cost you £1.49 / $1.99 as an IAP. You can purchase 1849 for £2.99 / $4.99 on the App Store [buy] and Google Play [buy].

In our review, we said: "1849 is a refreshingly straight-up city-builder with a snappy mission-based structure, but the route to success can feel a little restrictive and one-note at times".
