What this is
Sail around the globe while managing their trade in the Portuguese Colonial Empire. Players take actions such as contracting men, acquiring ships and buildings, sailing the seas, establishing colonies in discovered lands, trading goods on the market, and getting privileges. There are several undiscovered lands that allow players, once discovered, to found some colonies there.
