Kogge

English; German. Second edition. Each player is the merchant captain of a ship which sails the Baltic, trading between the various ports, each trying to be the most successful merchant. The basic idea is that you sail from port to port and trade goods of one sort for more goods of other types. However, the trade routes regularly change, though players can also influence them. In addition players set up offices in ports which gather goods when they are produced and can then be collected by a visiting captain. Special privileges can also be obtained, and count towards victory too. Once or twice a game each captain can turn bandit and raid a port as well - very lucrative, but you can then never go there again. 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. (www.madhatterboardgames.co.uk for more info.)
