| DESCRIPTION
The Mediterranean Sea is the lifeline for merchants living in the lands on its
shores. Here, the players represent competing merchant families plying their
trade throughout the region.
As the players move their ships from port to port,
they try to load and deliver large cargos of the seven major trading goods:
jewels, scrolls, silk, salt, pottery, olives, and grain. Knowing the market
limit for each ware, is, a player will try to fill his ship with just this much
of each cargo type to gain the most from his investments,
Of course, players
must always be on the lookout for pirates, who will board careless ships,
stealing both cargos and reputations.
The most successful player will earn the
most money -- you are merchants, after all -- and win the game! |
