Movers & Shakers 

“In the late 19th century, Bengal became a key hub for railway expansion in British India, surpassing earlier developments elsewhere in the country. The East Indian Railway Company led the charge, beginning with the Howrah–Hooghly line in 1854. Driven by strategic, economic, and export needs, the rail network rapidly spread across the region. By century’s end, Bengal had one of India’s most extensive and vital railway systems, powering both commerce and colonial control.

In Movers & Shakers, you play as a railway magnate in 19th-century Bengal, competing to transport goods, fulfil contracts, and invest your profits wisely. Over two strategic rounds, you’ll use your own and rival trains to move Crates between Benares and Calcutta, aiming to build wealth through sharp planning and bold decisions. Only the most ambitious and efficient tycoon will rise to shape the future of Bengal’s railways.”

Nippon | Zaibatsu

“Nippon: Zaibatsu is a new edition of Nippon, a fast-paced area majority economic game. Players control Zaibatsu, massive conglomerates of interconnected companies driving Japan’s economy in the Industrial Revolution era.

During the game, players invest in new industries, build factories and railroads, and produce goods to saturate local markets and fulfill contracts — all to grow their influence and power and become the rulers of the new modernized country.

Players are free to choose their playstyle and winning strategy: they choose what they score victory points for, control the game’s pace with income turns, and race each other to get the most beneficial factories, markets, and bonuses.

All the core mechanisms of the original Nippon are still there, but components, art, and design are upgraded, and many gameplay features are reworked to get the game in line with modern trends. Nippon: Zaibatsu features new resource types, ships are heavily revised with new Iwakura mission rules, factories are much more variable, consolidation turns provide players with new rewards, and many more. Also, the game now has an automa-driven solo mode.”

Asian Tigers | A Story of Prosperity

“Asia, the 1960s.

In a world striving for economic success, four Asian economies emerge from the pack: South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. These so-called Asian Tigers are now implementing policies and creating optimal investment conditions for international players to enter their economies and achieve impressive economic growth.

You are an investor sponsored by each of the Asian Tigers, and your goal is to help these markets flourish and achieve the much-desired success. You will build power plants, research laboratories, sponsor universities, and establish factories that will produce resources with the purpose of serving local and, more importantly, international markets.

An easy-going mechanism provides a very interactive experience in which players dispute the relevance of their presence in each of the Tigers and also the personal goals established by their own management decisions. Producing resources such as Ships, Machinery, Automobiles, Chemicals, Finance, and Electronics is the way to serve the global markets to succeed.

The economic revolution in Asia has started, and you are a part of it.”
