Oltremare: Merchants of Venice

Mind the Move first edition: English; German; Italian. Small boxed. Card driven board game in which the players sail their merchant ships around the Mediterranean. The cards are used for many purposes: each shows a type of goods which are collected and when placed in a sold goods pile will score according to the number of adjacent cards of the same type (bigger collections being more valuable). In addition the cards indicate the actions which a player will perform in their turn: the number of cards drawn, money earned, pirates encountered, distance sailed and hold capacity. Game play involves card management and trading goods cards between players. Various bonuses are acquired by sailing to previously unvisited ports. An interesting and unusual game. UK postage flat fee £4 for 1st game, £7 for 2 games or more. All games shipped UK Royal Mail tracked 48. Non UK postage by request. No postage cost if picking up at one of my open days.
