Ceylon

Players act as pioneers building the island’s tea industry in nineteenth-century Ceylon. They place and upgrade plantations across districts and altitudes, produce tea, and negotiate sales to export companies. Influence is gained by courting district counselors and players develop technologies that improve production and logistics. Victory points come from planted districts, fulfilled export demands, technological advancement, and accumulated cash.

    I hoped for a better game. At the end it's a area control game without interaction/combats. And I don't like the fact that you can't store more than 5 goods in your storage, just to prevent you from selling twice in the same round. And I disliked the big luck factor in drawing the action cards. If you're unlucky you keep drawing things you can't use.
