Description
In From Batavia, you'll take on the role of a Dutch merchant in the 17th century, seeking to get rich by trading spices and crops. The game is easy to learn and plays quickly, with 2 to 6 players competing to fill their ships with valuable cargo. With a playtime of just 40 minutes, you can dive into the world of spice trading and emerge victorious in no time. Players will use hand management and card drafting to collect and trade cargo cards, each with its own cost, effect, and money value. As you fill your ships, you'll need to manage your resources carefully to afford the cargo you want. With a variety of spices to collect, including cardamon, cloves, and cinnamon, you'll need to strategize to succeed. The first player to fill three ships wins, so get ready to set sail for adventure and riches in From Batavia.
