Capitalism II in-game.

The player creates and controls a business empire. This in-depth strategy game covers almost every aspect of business that could be encountered in the real world, including marketing, manufacturing, purchasing, importing and retailing. It has two new campaigns (Capitalist Campaign and Entrepreneur Campaign) plus an in-depth tutorial.

The gameplay is very similar to the original version. One noticeable difference from Capitalism I is that there are fewer products derived from agricultural resources.

Capitalism II will run on modern versions of Microsoft Windows whereas the previous versions would not.

Capitalism II has also been ported to Mac OS X by Virtual Programming.

A new expanded version of Capitalism II, called Capitalism Lab, was released on December 14, 2012.[1] Capitalism Lab has many new features, improvements and a new concept of challenge games.[2]

The game received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3]

gollark: I guess I can just expose both, yes.
gollark: Stat-tracky ones seem more boring.
gollark: Also, it would be `achieve_achievement(ctx, name)` but meh.
gollark: I guess I could just expose an `achieve_achievement(name)` function but that seems inelegant somehow.
gollark: For example, one achievement will be maybe "set a reminder for over 3 years".
