The Speicherstadt
From the Publisher...
Around the year 1900, Hamburg is the gate to the world. In the center of the harbor there is a unique complex of storage houses: The Speicherstadt (warehouse district).
The dense web of loading canals and bridges rapidly develops to become a vast terminal for spices, coffee and carpets from all over the world.
You are a wholesale dealer residing in Hamburg at the boom years of the Speicherstadt, buying shiploads and serving your clients. Hire firemen to protect your goods and counting offices from occasional fires.
The player doing the best business during the course of one year will be the winner of the game.
The Speicherstadt impresses with an astonishingly simple but highly original game mechanism.
The affectionately manufactured game is capped by its play money with typical hanseatic drawings.

| Wow! This game is ugly!!!! BUT it is simply AMAZING!
Perhaps an oversimplification, but I wrote this game off several times in the discount bin because of how dated and boring the game looked from the pictures on the back of the box. Instead of a boring game, this is a very tight economic/auction game with a very cool twist on the actual bidding: you have a few workers to place out to either try to win a bid, or at least drive up the price on your opponents.
This is definitely a gem of a game. |
