EKONOS (Second Edition)

Players compete as shareholders and executives of board-game publishing companies, aiming to gain control and grow their firms across Europe. On each turn, players buy and sell shares, take presidency of companies to set expansion policies, and execute actions that influence a publisher’s growth and reach. Simple core mechanics mask strategic timing decisions about market control and investment. The game supports 2–6 players and centers on share trading, corporate leadership, and spatial expansion as players try to outmaneuver rivals for majority holdings and influence over company development.
