This game is not very colorblind friendly. If you can't identify the six (yes, six) different colors of trade branches here in Nürnberg, you might want to buy some paint before you buy this game.

After a few turns the board starts getting colorful and crowded.

Overview

Players secure valued markets via affordable trade routes between medieval cities while simultaneously forcing opponents into less affordable and less valued markets. The cities themselves have a variable number of spaces for players to develop business branches within, or alternatively establish new trade routes into wider reaching cities and towns. Players may generate income and risk losing dominance over a city, or add branches within a city that lower the value of your product but can award you with a stronger market influence. At the end of the game, the player with the most influence wins.
