Set out for the bustling ports of the 16th century and become the leader of one of four merchant families. In this clever economic game, you buy, load goods onto ships, speculate on demand and sell at the right moment to build a fleet and gain as much wealth as possible.
Whether you bet on timber, spices, or porcelain, it’s all about good timing and the ability to read your opponents. Watch the actions of the other players and try to predict demand for individual commodities. In the trading phase, you can also influence it by playing the relevant cards—setting the stage for a profitable sale.
Players gain ship and goods cards. Your goal is to load the right goods onto your ships and sell them at the moment of highest demand. Buy, sell, speculate and expand your fleet to leave the competition far behind.
