Shipping

Game ID: GID0285620
Collection Status
Description

An Ahoy series game, published in England. The general idea of the game is to pick up and deliver as much cargo as possible.

With the capital gained you buy more harbour facilities, thereby collecting greater harbour dues.

The player having most capital, which includes face value of the port cards held, value of cargo and cash in hand at the end of the game is declared the winner.

If at any time during the game a player loses his ship, he may re-purchase it for 10,000.

This may entail selling some of his ports, which can be done by auctioning them among the players.

If he is unable to raise the necessary capital, he retires from the game.
