From the Instructions: "The object of Contraband is for a player to become the wealthiest by purchasing 100 pound bundles of foreign and domestic grown plants, smuggling them into the United States or Canada, and selling them for fantastic amounts of cash." Player collect bundles from Mexico, Hawaii, Colombia, and Jamaica, and then travel North where they must decide to sell in the USA, or Canada. Different bundles are worth different values, and prices are higher in Canada than the USA due to the additional time and risk it takes to travel there.
