Five East Indian companies that want to open the maximum of trading desks. During a turn, a die determines the number of ship cards that are played and can represent one of five countries. An auction determines which player receives all cards, there is a closed fist purchase system. The money that allowed the cards to be won is divided among all the other players who made a proposal. The cards are placed in front of the player.
When a player has a majority, he can take the tile of the country concerned and can exchange it for money: the only way to win. A majority player may also decide to play a cash on the board (in the country concerned). This is how, according to a majority principle, we earn VP at the end of the game (a majority in a city can earn 10 to 16 VP.) A mechanism is triggered when so many maps of a country have been played and adds salt to the game. The player with the most VP when it ends wins.
