R & R Games East India Companies - Strategy Board Game, High Seas Trading Company Game Set, 360

EAST INDIA COMPANIES - In the 19th century, four shipping companies controlled the Seas and compete for the most sought after good of the Far East: tea, spices, coffee and silk. The demand is immense- this is your chance for high profits. In East India Companies, you take the business of a trading company into your own hands! The game puts you in charge of growing one of these four empires. Buy, Sell, Grow, and Invest! Will you purchase fast ships with small tonnage, or slower ships that can carry more cargo? Will you expand your port or set up trading outposts? Perhaps invest your money in shipping stocks? Just remember, the key is purchasing valuable goods at the reduced rate that can be sold for a profit! 3 Focuses: 1) Buy and sell goods based on supply and demand. 2) Expand wisely - Grow your company by buying new ships and expanding your port. 3) Invest in the opposing companies and profit from their gains. An intriguing strategy game where players attempt to maximize profit while navigating fluctuating supply and demand. Featuring a beautiful map-board and quality components. Award-winning game design - Featuring an economy with "changing tides" in every round.
