The Smoky Valley
Players act as 19th-century investors developing industry along the Lachine Canal in Griffintown, Montréal. They build and upgrade factories, produce and transform goods, and ship exports to generate income. Players also invest in urban improvements and public services to stimulate economic activity and raise citizen approval. Higher popularity can lead to election as mayor, granting political influence over the city's development and further strategic options.
