Description

Get ready to wheel and deal in Wealth of Nations, a classic board game from 1975 designed by Christian Pachis. In this game, 2 to 6 players take on the role of entrepreneurs trying to corner the market on various raw materials like metals, oil, coffee, and tobacco. The goal is to acquire exploitation rights to these commodities and reap the rewards, but it's not just about collecting resources - it's about outmaneuvering your opponents and driving them to bankruptcy. As players navigate the board, they'll need to use a combination of strategic bidding, clever trading, and a little bit of bluffing to get ahead. The game is easy to learn, but it's not for the faint of heart - with a playtime of 120 minutes, you'll need to be in it for the long haul. With mechanics like auctioning, betting, and commodity speculation, Wealth of Nations is a true simulation of the cutthroat world of high finance. Will you emerge victorious, or will you be left in the dust? There's only one way to find out - gather your friends, set up the board, and get ready to build your economic empire.
