During the industrial revolution Sweden went from being one of the poor countries of Europe to become one of the wealthiest. Sweden started this era with providing Europe with raw materials like wood and iron and ended it with providing mobile phones, cars and furniture. Surely there must be a way to make your pile of money larger during this expansive era.
In Industrialisation of Sweden players try to make the most money by acquiring and operating historical and present day Swedish companies.
In a series of rounds players acquire companies in auctions that they then operate. Operation of a company consists of purchasing resources from a market and then selling other (hopefully more valuable) resources to the same market. In the end the player with the most money wins.
