Small Sea Empires

Explore the New World, settle unknown lands, establish trade routes, and deal in exotic resources to become the most prosperous colonial empire! On their turns, players will be able to lay down their trade routes by placing a number of ships on the board. When a player's trade route reaches an island, they will explore that island resources and raise the demand of that resource on the Resource Market. Players can later settle the islands and trade the resources, thus gaining gold for the trade, but also lowering the demand of that resource, making it less valuable for the other players to trade. Finally, the objective of the game is to have the most gold at the end of the game! -description from publisher
