The Ruhr: A Story of Coal Trade*

Players are transported to the Ruhr region in the 18th century, at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, where coal from Haspelknecht is in high demand. They transport and sell coal to towns and factories along the Ruhr, aiming to gain unique progress markers and access higher quality coal. The game includes an updated version of Ruhrschifffahrt 1769-1890 and introduces a standalone expansion featuring trade along the Ohio River during its early statehood.
