Description
Shanghai Trader is a game of high-stakes trading and deal-making, set in the vibrant city of Shanghai. As a trading baron, you'll need to navigate the city's economy, establishing a trading empire and amassing a fortune. But be careful, as the city is full of risks and uncertainties, and you could find yourself in Old Chinatown, where corruption and skullduggery reign. With 3 to 6 players, the game is a thrilling experience that combines tile placement and trading mechanics. As you build your empire, you'll need to collude with other players, attend special events, and even hire special contractors to outmaneuver your rivals. With a playtime of 180 to 300 minutes, Shanghai Trader is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat, as you try to escape the city with the largest international bank account before civil disorder brings the game to a close.
