Players take the role of influential merchants at the end of the 19th century who must make furniture, tiles, and glassware transporting them to a suitable warehouse in the port. To accomplish this task, they must skillfully play cards and opportunistically select dice to gain the needed resources, which will allow them to acquire blocks of houses and move their ship through the harbor. Both advanced planning and tactical aptitude will be needed to advance your plans. The winner is the player who has the most prestige at the end of the game.
