For those who want to start playing real board games (not Monopoly, Hotel), it is a wonderful choice to enter this world. Of course, not only for them but also for seasoned players, as the game has enough depth and has never disappointed even once. It is no coincidence that it still appears on lists of must-have board games. It is simple to explain, and once a round is played, everyone understands what they can do, and that’s where the fun begins, allowing each person to develop their strategy based on the choices they have in each round. I have been involved with board games for over 12 years, and this game often comes to the table, especially in new or mid-level groups.

A tabletop game with perhaps outdated aesthetics, but with high-quality components and strategic demands. Successfully simulates real economic theories and principles, such as supply and demand. Fast-paced, satisfying experience. The only downside may be the relatively frequent market adjustment of goods between rounds. Well-written and easy-to-understand instruction booklet.

Quite a fun game, but it requires some time to read and learn it well. The instructions included are clear, but the game is somewhat complex and I wouldn't recommend it for a young child. With 3-4 players, a game can easily take three hours, but the time passes very pleasantly!

Economical game that combines various mechanisms such as auctioning, supply/demand, and network building.

+Quality board and cards.
+Sufficient strategy to balance your various markets and maximize your income.
+The basic mechanisms are simple and easy to understand.
+Mechanisms that prevent the first player from running away with the score, making the game interesting for everyone.
+Strong interaction with other players in every aspect of the game.

-Poor quality paper money. Average quality wooden components.
-Unattractive board design.
-Long completion time, especially with 5-6 players.
-Many small rules and exceptions that you need to remember during the game.
