Sometimes you get these video game cravings. . .

I want a building/farming/crafting/creation game and I want it now. I'm tempted to make a free account for A Tale in The Desert just to scratch that itch, then create a paid account when Bastet Shard opens in a few days and either joint T5 when it begins or stick around on Bastet, depending on how the shard experiment goes.

Alternatively, does anyone have such a game they can recommend? (The Harvest Moon series has that annoying deadline thing that takes the fun out of it)

I think ATITD is an awesome game *if* you are into multiplayer (I really enjoyed ATITD except for the people interaction part). Do you know of anything that's ATITD like but single-player?

I have a Wii game (Rune Factory, I think) that you could borrow for a try.

The irony is that Civ5 got announced today.

Not quite in your desired genre, but I'll mention that some people I know (cthulhia for one) really like Kingdom of Loathing.

I really enjoyed both Braid and Torchlight recently.

What console(s) do you have at home?

If you have an XBox 360 A Kingdom for Keflings might fit the bill.

You manage little people, and build buildings. It's sorta sanboxy and it sorta has goals. But there's no real rush to do anything.

It's fully playable solo but you can also play with friends over XBox live.

I don't have an actual serious suggestion but this post is making me want to play Oregon Trail.
