Description
Imagine stepping into the bustling ports of 16th‑century Ragusa, where you’re the savvy merchant juggling spices, silk, and gold while scheming to out‑build your rivals. In this 2019 gem from Fabio Lopiano, up to five players (or even a lone wolf) dive into a lively mix of set collection, contracts, and worker placement, each with its own quirky crew to send out on trade routes. You’ll snap up commodities, lock in lucrative contracts, and weave connections that turn a modest warehouse into a glittering city‑state. The game feels like a Renaissance‑flavoured economic playground: the rules are just “normal” enough for seasoned gamers to pick up quickly, yet the blend of speculation, end‑game bonuses, and different worker types keeps every round fresh. In 40‑80 minutes you’ll experience the thrill of building a thriving port, watching the market shift, and laughing as you try to out‑wit the other merchants—perfect for a night when you want strategy with a dash of historic flair.
