Description
Kontor is a game of strategic trading and area control, set in the vibrant city of Amsterdam during the Renaissance. Players take on the roles of merchants, competing to dominate the market in three major commodities: spices, tea, and wine. The game is easy to learn, but offers depth and complexity as players expand their trading houses and navigate the harbor area. In this 60-minute game, 2 to 4 players will engage in a battle of wits, using tile placement and commodity speculation to outmaneuver their opponents. With its unique blend of area majority and take that mechanics, Kontor offers a thrilling experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Designed by Michael Schacht and first published in 1999, Kontor has become a classic of the genre, with a range of expansions and variations available to add even more replayability to the game.
