From the Librarian: Precious Cargo is a strategic board game where players compete to become the most powerful trading nation by building a fleet, exploring new ports, and trading valuable goods. With careful planning and strategic decisions, players can build an empire and secure their legacy. If you enjoy strategic gameplay, economic simulation, and the thrill of maritime trade, Precious Cargo is the perfect game for you
From the Publisher: For hundred of years, merchants sailed to faraway lands in search of untold wealth, bringing Precious Cargo that was worth a fortune - if they could find the right port at which to sell it.
The shrewdest merchants of all hailed from Talonas and Koruna. These great nations built fleets that scoured the seas for markets eager to buy their most valuable goods. Some of their ships were quick and nimble, while others were slow moving freighters laden down with cargo.
In Precious Cargo you are the leader of one of these countries. To start, all you have is a single ship with one sail. By making clever choices about what goods to trade, which ports to visit and colonize, and when to invest in improving your fleet, you could build an empire and make a fortune for your country.
While both countries had great success trading on the high seas, only one could go down as the greatest in history. Will it be you?
