Lata*
* 
Lata drops 1 to 4 players into the Portuguese canning industry of the 1950s: you run a local fish cannery, producing and selling the famous tinned sardines and mackerel. A meaty economic game for thinkers aged 10+.
Across six rounds you juggle production, workforce and sales to domestic and foreign markets. "Lata" is Portuguese for "tin can" – both the raw material of the packaging and the popular nickname for the product. Whoever best balances supply and demand builds the most successful canning empire.
