You are a broker in 1950s Santiago, driving a circuit past nine locals who each do you a different favour, then loading rum, tobacco and fruit onto ships whose demands keep shifting. Move further along the road and you get more done, but you also skip the people you needed.
Who it's for
Couples and small groups who want a smart economic game that fits in an evening, especially at two players where it shines.
Not for you if…
You want a big sprawling euro or lots of engine building, since the whole game runs on a single loop. The rondel can also feel restrictive if you like open options.
Vibe's take
Tight and clean, with turns that take fifteen seconds and still hurt to decide. Almost no downtime for a game this substantial.
