"Ayiti" is "Haiti."In this game, try to educate, employ and feed your family of 5, while avoiding cholera, bandits, malaria, dyptheria, ignorance, depression, heat exhaustion and tuburculosis.
It really IS a very fun and challenging game, despite all the above. And it venerates the role of the chicken in healthy, family life, so what else can one want?
AND you can even buy the family a RADIO -- NOT a TV!
It's a bit capitalistic, with middle class values (for instance: folk remedies don't cure; only the clinic and hospital do) and too much emphasis on Christianity. But one can succeed without buying into a lot of the Western emphasis on Protestant work ethic.
The game gives hints, so pay attention and choose wisely.
