Bid for colonial riches and build a spice-trading empire
Who it's for
Euro gamers who enjoy auctions and interconnected advancement. Best at 3-4 players where bidding wars heat up.
Not for you if…
Not for players who dislike auction-heavy games or want a modern production with the latest mechanisms.
Vibe's take
Tight, cerebral, interactive, interconnected
Colonial-era trade game with an innovative auction mechanism. Bid for the right to buy spice plantations, ships, and colonists, then develop your trading empire by upgrading five different advancement tracks in interconnected ways.
