The character creator is really the best part about this game.
In this game you're a "good" (white) colonizer, the only one that can protect the poor natives of this unexplored (by the whites) island from the "evil" colonizers, even though you're also colonizing their land and often the game makes you side with the "evil" colonizers in killing all these savages that have no right to live in the land that is theirs, as if that's such a Normal and Right decision that why would the game present you with an option to not do that?
In the end, after killing the natives' leader that was trying too hard to defend his people, because you wanted to manipulate their election and put someone more amenable to your requests in his place, you learn he was actually right to defend them but obviously the game never makes you reflect on your evil actions.
Everything from the gameplay mechanics and what actions measure your progress to the narrative is racist, disgusting and rancid.
It doesn't escape me that due to the ending ruining the colonizers' plans to this land the upcoming sequel will be set 3 years in the past, the devs (who are europeans, to really put the cherry on top) had to figure out some other reason to let you continue living your happy little colonialism fantasy.

The actual card game is quite fun, but just hire actual actors for your game.
