The Rotterdam harbour
With Masters of Trade, the sequel to the Rotterdam harbour game, the players get the opportunity to play the role of ship owner, captain, deck hand, trader, shipping agent, cashier and manufacturer.
The harbours of the Maas River are as ever bustling with activities and new factories process the ever increasing quantities of raw materials. There are great strategic challenges in Masters of Trade as harbour economics come into play: buy low and sell high, stock up on commodities and speculate on price shifts.
You have to decide when it is the right time to navigate, manufacture, discharge or trade.
Don’t forget: good investment planning is essential, but good trading instinct is crucial!
