About this game

Load cargo onto ships and navigate them through the Panama Canal in this unique logistics Euro. Panamax combines pick-up-and-deliver with stock manipulation as you load other players' cargo onto your ships, creating fascinating incentive alignments. The canal itself is a physical puzzle where ships must be pushed through locks in the correct order. Managing your company's stock value while fulfilling delivery contracts creates an unusually interconnected economic experience.
