Cultures is a resource management game based around Vikings. You control a small group of Vikings and train them to do various jobs like being a huntsman, baker, farmer, etc and you build them places to live and work.
The game is cute and the Vikings do not go rampaging about the land, looting and pillaging. It's not that kind of game and they aren't those kind of Vikings.
You build your community. Male Vikings go to work and female Vikings cook them dinner and have babies. When two Vikings get married and have somewhere to live, you can tell them to have a baby. The baby arrives and grows up. Once the baby (boy) reaches adulthood, you can train him to do whatever job might be required. Baby girls grow into women, who then have more children (if you want). Care needs to be taken to ensure that there is enough food for everyone.
There is some combat but not fast and frantic. If you fall out with the natives (whosoever they may be) then they may attack you, in which case train up some soldiers and defend your settlement.
Cultures is a slow paced, "nice" game. It looks nice, it sounds nice and it's nice to play. It is suitable for just about anyone and is a very inoffensive game. There are the usual campaign missions to play (you are set a task and when you complete it you can progress to the next stage) or you can play different scenarios where you can play as long as you want.
The game is quite fun to play and should last quite a while. Worth a look if you think you like the sound of it.
