About this game
A civilization-building logistics game with no randomness whatsoever. Produce resources, transport them via donkeys, trucks, rafts, and ships, and build production chains from basic resources to gold bars and coins. There is no ownership of land: whoever's transporter is carrying something owns it. The logistical puzzle of moving the right resources to the right factories at the right time is extraordinarily deep. Build roads, breed geese, mine ore, smelt gold, and mint coins in a deterministic economic simulation.
