Step into the bustling world of the 19th century, where sea transport is booming and the demand for innovative ships is soaring! In this game, you'll assume the role of an ambitious ship manufacturer working tirelessly to design and build the vessels of the future.
Hire skilled employees, acquire state-of-the-art accessories, and charm the evaluating committees to secure your place at the forefront of naval innovation. Don’t forget to rent a canal—your ships are ready to set sail!
Gameplay is engaging and dynamic as players take turns in a clockwise direction, starting with a randomly chosen individual. On your turn, select one of the available actions from the Action Track. Each action helps you acquire essential resources to construct your ships.
Expect to strategize as you advance the Action Card on your subsequent turn, choosing a different action to further boost your shipbuilding endeavors. When you successfully complete a vessel—consisting of beautifully illustrated cards that depict bows, sterns, and multiple middle sections—you will take it on an exciting shakedown cruise through the canal. You'll have the chance to score points based on factors like speed, crew efficiency, equipment upgrades, and safety.
As turns progress, watch the Action Cards slide along the Action Track. Once the lead Action Card circles back to the Starting Space, the countdown marker moves down, keeping the game momentum flowing.
The game concludes when the countdown marker reaches the finish space, or sooner if players exhaust their Ship Cards. Don't forget—bonus points await for those who secure Government Contracts!
With gameplay lasting approximately 30 minutes per player, this thrilling adventure is perfect for gatherings that bring out the competitive spirit in everyone. Are you ready to embark on a shipbuilding journey and emerge victorious?
