Greece, approximately 1800 B.C.  

An excellent time to get in the mood by researching Mycenae, and Minoan Crete. This game is based on the previous 1844 game designed by Helmut Ohley and Peter Minder.  The gameplay of shipping/trading is directly based on the original train game.  Except the transportation is by sea rather than by rail.

Due to the development of ships suitable for crossing the Ionian Sea, different nation start setting up trading routes and exploring new territory. Each player represents a rich family clan trying to multiply their riches. You invest in flourishing nations by obtaining merchant licenses and even rule some of those nations if you’re the player with the most merchant licenses equaling highest influence.
