About this game
Anno 1701: Dawn of Discovery is about exploring, building and establishing your settlement and it is about government and control.
The basic gameplay is similar to the PC version : the player constructs buildings to create production cycles and to satisfy the population's needs which increase over time.

Because of that he needs to expand his settlement or trade to gain additional resources.
Even if it is not the focus of the game the player also has the possibility to solve conflicts with military actions.
The main difference is that the game contents are reduced to the most necessary, e.g. simpler production circles, less buildings and less units.
There are three different game modes.
A campaign which includes 15 missions divided in five chapters, continuous game where you can play as long as you want and a multiplayer mode where you can play with up to four players.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Anno 1701: Dawn of Discovery for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Anno 1701: Dawn of Discovery to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2008.
