Some superficial similarities to Monopoly such as Board shape and pawn movement. Players build up Wealth and Economic Resources. However to win, you have to have the best Legacy, which means you must convert some of that wealth into philanthropy before the game ends. Monopolies are based on 20 different Industries including Oil, Banking, Railroads, Steel, etc. Players can own holdings within the same space. Not complex but it does offer lots of period flavor.
