Arkwright is an economic board game designed by Stefan Risthaus, where players take on the roles of entrepreneurs in 18th-century England, building and managing factories. In this new anniversary edition, the game has been streamlined and updated with a new rulebook and artwork. The game offers different play experiences through various modules, including Spinning Mule and 'Waterframe variants, as well as an East India module. It also features a solo mode, known as Automat which allows a single player to compete against artificial opponents. In Arkwright, players act as entrepreneurs, producing and selling goods like cloth, cutlery, lamps, and bread across various markets. They manage up to four factories, balancing workers and machines, while navigating opportunities and challenges presented by events at the end of each decade. The goal is to outmaneuver competitors, accumulate wealth, and raise company share value - without falling into debt, which results in an automatic loss. Succeed during the early Industrial Revolution and drive both your company and England's growth.
