Why is this game listed only as Century and not Century Spice Road. I thought there were multiple games under the title "Century". I have in fact played one of them. Unless I was imagining it or dreaming.

You have the option of playing Spice Road or Golem Edition which is why it’s simply named Century

I'm talking about different games, by the same company even, titled "Century".
Century: A New World (which I for sure played) & also
Century: Eastern Wonders.

These are "Century"

Sorry. I did not check, so my bad if so, for sure.
But are these also options for playing the game "Century"?

Those are not playable at the moment, whether they want to add them in the future I'm not sure. Either way if they do get added later I'm sure they can change the name. You can understand why they don't want to call it "Century Spice Road" when the Golem Edition is also playable, though.

Maybe "Century: Spice Road" & "Century: Spice Road Golem Edition" ?

Because of these various Century games, one doesn't automatically think of the two that are in the system.

Labelling the game as simply Century is a misnomer.

I do not understand why they don't want to call it "Century: Spice Road" when "Century: Golem Edition" is a reskin with different art of the exact same game. Under a game entry titled "Century: Spice Road", on the first screen they could simply then be given a button: "Play as Golem Edition?"

Just a thought.
