Indonesia

Players build an economy across the Indonesian archipelago by acquiring production companies and shipping lines, producing goods (rice, spices, microwaveable meals, rubber, oil) and delivering them to growing cities. Cities expand their demand as they receive goods; production companies earn revenue only when deliveries reach cities, while shipping companies charge for transport distance and capacity. Players buy, sell, merge, and occasionally buy out opponents’ companies to control lucrative plantations and routes, and can invest in research to unlock advantages like larger ships or merging rights. Play proceeds through three eras with hidden money tracking; the final round’s earnings count double.

    #55 #paperMoney (20x500, 30x100, 30x50, 40x10) #coins (78x5, 64x1) A very cool economic game. Very interesting decisions to make. But the original components are very ugly and some are too big. I had to replace them with other components.
