Indonesia is a sprawling economic simulation from Splotter Spellen that models the industrialization of an archipelago through shipping logistics, company mergers, and fierce competition for market access. The merger mechanic alone makes it worth playing, creating dramatic moments where entire business empires change hands. It's long, complex, and unforgiving, but for players who want an economic game where every decision has cascading consequences across a four-hour session, Indonesia delivers depth that few designs attempt.

Antiquity is Splotter Spellen's civilization game reimagined as a survival horror experience. Your expanding city generates pollution that poisons the land, famine constantly threatens, and the map itself fights back as resources deplete and graves fill your limited space. The patron saint system provides multiple paths to victory, each demanding a completely different approach. It's punishing, long, and deeply rewarding for players who enjoy games where the margin between success and collapse is razor-thin.

Bus is the Splotter Spellen debut that planted the seeds for decades of innovative design. Its worker placement system, one of the earliest in the genre, creates a uniquely cutthroat experience where players compete to drive bus routes through a growing city, managing passengers and manipulating time itself. The production is modest and the learning curve is real, but the mechanical purity and interactive depth reward players who appreciate designs where every action matters and no one gets a free ride.

For fans of heavy economic games with a unique design hook, Horseless Carriage drives into unexplored territory.
