In In Business, players have to trade goods from one continent to the other. Starting off with a loan from the bank, players have to earn money to pay back the loan and finally make a profit. The first player to own a certain amount of money (depending on the number of players) wins the game.
In order to do so, players have to make the most profitable bargains by buying cheap and sell expensive. Each country has its own prizes.
At the start of the game each player gets a goal-card, which shows:
The type of good which have to be traded
Purchase area
Sell area
Purchase and sell prizes
Players move along the board by rolling two dice. For each continent they can choose whether to walk the long- or short route.
During the game, players can get additional goals, loose or win money at the stock market, or get additional smaller bonuses or losses. Also players can lose their cargo by a casualty during transport, unless their goods are ensured.
The additional rules for experienced players involve a more extensive stock market.
