Another unheard-of gem by the makers of Transarctica, the French company Silmarils!
From 1991, you manage a realm where wind is the ultimate source of energy, and you do some stuff, but it is full of odd uniquenesses. For instance, when you want your priest to summon winds, you have to follow a ritual. It’s crazy: a guy shows an open book page indicating the current stage, and you have to click on specific characters to make them start playing music or singing, and so on, for about 5 steps. The better you follow the ritual, the more resources you earn.
Of course, it’s only fun the first few times, then it becomes annoying. But it’s still unique.
Also, the copy protection mechanism is fun: if you type the wrong word when it asks you, then someone will get randomly killed. You can keep playing, but you will SUFFER.
Anyway, it’s very much in the spirit of the Games Club. Just be sure to have the manual with you when playing… you wouldn’t want your council to die for no reason, would you?
