Product Description
Theme : Magnificent sunsets, exotic flora and fauna, the aroma of finest spices in the air – the Far East has always had a magical appeal to adventurers, soldiers of fortune, explorers, traders and merchants.
Around 400 years ago, merchants in many different countries organized themselves into companies so that they could send larger fleets of ships to the Far East.
They hoped for huge profits from these voyages, because spices such as pepper and nutmeg were quite literally worth their weight in gold. And Batavia - now known as Jakarta - wasn't just the main branch of the Dutch East India Company on Java, but the name of their flagship as well.
Gameplay : In Batavia, players represent merchants who are visiting the five East India companies located throughout Asia. Each station offers a different good which is only available to the merchant who visits that trading post.
Each turn, ships that are traveling to each location will be auctioning their cargo space off. However, the highest bidders gets the cards offered but must divide the money he paid equally among the other players. The winner of Batavia is the player who is able to acquire the most gold by the end of the game.
