What this is
Ship goods, construct buildings, and choose roles that benefit they more than others. During each round, players take turns selecting a role card from those on the table (such as "Trader" or "Builder"). Players earn victory points for owning buildings, for shipping goods, and for manned "large buildings." Each player's accumulated shipping chips are kept face down and come in denominations of one or five.
