Description
In Age of Scheme: Routes to Riches, you're the head of a trading family looking to extend your influence and gain wealth through strategic marriages and trade route expansions. Set in a time of great change, around 400AD, the game takes you on an adventure of building networks and holding stocks to accumulate riches. With 3 to 6 players, you'll navigate the complexities of establishing trade routes, managing resources, and negotiating alliances to come out on top. As you build your trading empire, you'll need to balance the costs of acquiring new interests with the potential profits they can bring. With normal complexity rules, experienced board game players will have no issue diving in, but be prepared to think strategically and make wise decisions to succeed. Published in 2008 and designed by John Bohrer, Age of Scheme: Routes to Riches offers a unique blend of adventure, economics, and negotiation that will keep you engaged for 60 minutes of playtime.
