Description

In Macao players take the
roles of influential adventurers who risked it all in the 17th century to try
their luck in Macao, the most important trading center in the Far East.
 By lucrative trade with Europe, well planned expansion in the city and
skillful filling at important offices and positions the players increase their
prestige and points.

In each of the twelve
rounds players must first select a new card and two of the six dice rolled,
which bring them action cubes.  Next the players use the available action
cubes to estimate cards, take possession of a city quarter, move their ship and
deliver goods to Europe.  To win, the player who plans well and uses their
action cubes effectively will gain the most prestige and points.
