Trade Winds: how to play
⛵ Trade Winds: 1 to 8 players.
How it works
You are a merchant with 1,000 coins and four goods to trade: spice, silk, tea and gears. Each day there is a news headline about one good, and some players also get a secret insider tip about another. Buy what will rise, sell what will fall, then tap done. At the end of the day prices change. After ten days, the richest merchant wins.
Tips for winning
- Headlines are always true, so a good that the news says will rise is worth buying.
- Insider tips are secret. Use them, but remember not everyone has one.
- Goods with no news can move either way, so keep some cash back.
Who it suits
Good for people who like numbers and planning. Works solo or with a group.
