Who it's for

Groups who enjoy speculation, bluffing on risk and lively dice-driven betting, with a full table of four or five feeding the tension.

Not for you if…

You dislike luck or want tight control. Dice can wreck careful bets, and the speculation swings hard against players who need certainty.

Vibe's take

A tense, dice-charged speculation where reading the odds, bluffing on risk and buying shares at the right moment beats any sure plan.

About this game

Everyone bets on which cargo ships reach harbor and which sink, then the dice decide their fate. Each round opens with an auction for harbour master, who sets the routes and the risks, before players buy shares and speculate on the outcome. Ride a lucky shipment and your shares soar; guess wrong and they gather dust.
