2023 · Transport

East India Companies

Players operate rival European shipping companies trading with trading posts in India, buying and selling commodities such as tea, spices, coffee, and silk while managing fleets of ships with differing speed and cargo capacity. Turn by turn, players decide whether to invest capital in company shares (their own or rivals’) or to purchase and transport goods, then sell when market prices shift; supply and demand mechanics cause prices to fluctuate throughout the game. Strategic choices about ship selection, cargo allocation, and stock investments interact with opponents’ moves, and players score by accumulating wealth through trade profits and successful market timing.

    #14 I really like the simplicity of this game. Buying and selling goods with a vivid market. And also the stock market is an interesting mechanism. What I didn't like about the stock market is, that the bank gets the money if someone is buying a stock.

    Nice lightweight game about goods and stocks speculation. Ignore ignorant idiots who rate this 1. Though viability of slower ships with more cargo space remains questionable.
