Batavia*

Players are transported to the golden age of the East India Companies, including English, Dutch, Swedish, French, and Danish. They represent merchants and visit trading posts across Asia, where each company offers different goods. To travel, players must auction for ship cards, with every bidder winning something as the highest bidder shares the cost among others. The player who can access the most profitable trading posts will secure the best goods and accumulate the highest amount of gold by the end of the game.
