In the 18th and 19th centuries, the shipping companies intensified the trade between the West and the Far East that had begun in previous centuries. Tea, spices, coffee and silk were commodities that were widely consumed in Europe, and their buying and selling price depended closely on supply and demand. Fortunes can be made and lost depending on the circumstances.
In East India Companies, players manage a large shipping company that trades with far-flung trading posts in India. They must manage their ships and invest in the purchase of shares in their own company and those of their competitors. And above all, the players have to keep an eye on the constantly fluctuating market prices! Is it better to invest your money in the stock market or in the purchase of goods? Is it better to use fast ships with low tonnage or slower ships with larger holds? Whatever the players choose, their strategy will influence that of their opponents.
