A classic game of shipping, first published in the 1950s. The players are shipping magnates sending their ship around the world to bring goods like coffee from Brazil, rice from Siam and oil from Venezuela to the Scandinavian market at the best price possible. With its hex-based game board, changing market price for the goods and the players’ freedom of where to go, Shipping is quite an advanced game and leaves more to be decided by the players then what's normal for games of this period. The original version is marked Damm game 387 and was published in the 1950s. There must have been at least two print runs, as some game boxes has the publisher’s logo in a white field, others in a yellow, but no variation in the game contents have been observed between these. Confusingly, when the publisher made a Norwegian translation of the similar (and possibly related) Swedish game Wangaratta in the 1970s, they reused the name Shipping for this.
