I’ve never understood math. I was terrible at it in school – I had to take remedial summer math classes before I could be admitted into my high school – and ever since I’ve either shied away from any pastime involving calculation, or when it couldn’t be avoided, quickly reached for the nearest available cheat sheet.
Playing Anno 1800 – my first experience with the now twenty-year-old city-building franchise – leaves me with the impression that “this must be what it’s like for people who like math”.
