Harbour economics In Masters of Trade, the sequel to the Rotterdam harbour game, the players get the opportunity to play the role of ship owner, captain, deck hand, trader, shipping agent, cashier and manufacturer. New factories process the ever increasing quantities of raw materials. There are great strategic challenges in Masters of Trade as harbour economics come into play: buy products on low prices, use them for your assignments and try to get additional Victory Points. Or stock up your commodities and speculate on price shifts. Good investment planning is essential, but good trading instinct is crucial to win this game!
