Netzwerk is a revision of Morisi. The object of the game is for the players to connect city areas (black) via trade routes. These trade routes will pass through the various areas: farmland (yellow), hills (orange), mountains (red), timberland (green) and water (blue). Before trade routes can be built, the players must gain knowledge about these various region types by traveling through them with their pawn. As cities are connected by trade, the players’ success is represented by the size and number of their trading houses in the connected cities.
The games of Netzwerk and Morisi have many similarities, but each uses different tile components and have different scoring mechanisms. Netzwerk introduces two new elements: wasteland and different city values.
