Die Kaufleute von Amsterdam

Die Kaufleute von Amsterdam

 

Each player represents a merchant family and tries to enhance his power in Amsterdam and the colonies and to influence share values. With cards received settlements are built in the colonies, offices in Amsterdam, share values are changed for sugar, gems, spices or silk or the time marker is moved one space towards 1666. Each player in turn is major and determines, which of the three cards he draws is auctioned, which he keeps for himself and which he takes out of the game. Auction is done in dutch fashion, prices falling from the highest level, the player wishing to buy stops the auction clock. If the time marker arrives on a scoring space, Amsterdam, the colonies and the stock market are scored, if there is a draw anywhere between 1st and 2nd place, the reward money is added and divided by two. In 1666 the player with the most money wins.
