Import / Export: Definitive Edition

Import / Export: Definitive Edition

Players run competing shipping companies, selecting roles each round to move containers, load ships and trigger imports or exports that shape a passive and active economy. Exporting shipments grants a wide variety of unlockable powers and progression along tech trees, letting players specialize and build unique engine combinations during play. When shipments reach the open sea, an Import action opens a silent auction where players buy containers for immediate action boosts or as saved investments that generate end-game credits. Scoring combines on-hand credits, credits tied up in imported goods, and bonuses from completed shipments; the player with the most total credits wins.
