Ocean Trader recreates 19th century world trade and trading ships in a lavishly produced board game. The object is to purchase and hold a majority share holding in a shipping line. This is achieved by trading around the world, buying and selling goods at various ports at the highest possible price. The game involves judgement, risk and an element of luck. |

This is a unique and challenging
game. The combination of trading patterns and the unpredictable and
imaginative prospects cards conspire to create near disaster for some and
good fortune for others. Careful route planning, buying additional ships, risking sailing without insurance, fever, doldrums, storms and de-mastings all have their part in making this a most enjoyable board game. The playing board is beautiful and care taken in production of all the playing pieces. |
