Vibe's take

Ruthless, deep, emergent, brain-burning

Who it's for

Experienced gamers who crave deep economic simulations and enjoy cutthroat financial maneuvering. Best at 4-5 players with a full afternoon.

Not for you if…

Not for casual groups or short gaming sessions. Rules are dense, teach time is long, and losing can feel punishing.

About this game

Heavy economic game set in the Indonesian archipelago where players run shipping and production companies. The twist: companies can merge, and you're investing in companies rather than controlling them directly, creating a ruthless stock-market dynamic.
