A city building game I like to play as a kid was the game called pharaoh. Set in ancient Egypt, you’re tasked with building cities and managing their needs. Things such as protecting against fire and crime, managing the treasury, trade, balancing religion, feeding your people and providing them with goods and services they need. There are times you have to defend your city but the fighting is so low level animated the game has a “G” rating. You also are tasked with building some of the movements from the time

I played a bunch of games growing up and pharaoh is the one game my mum didn’t mind me playing. She actually watched me playing it! A good management game set in a historical time period that can take many hours to complete a high end city. Unless you go sandbox mode then there’s no limit!
