About this game
A dice-driven euro set in 17th-century Portuguese Macao where you roll six colored dice and pick two to schedule resources on a rotating ship's wheel. Choose a high number and you get more cubes, but they arrive later. Choose low and they come fast but scarce. The wheel mechanic creates a unique planning puzzle across twelve rounds of trading, building, shipping goods around Europe, and activating powerful ability cards. The tension between immediate needs and future payoffs is constant. Classic Feld design: lots of moving parts that interlock beautifully.
