Details

In this game, each player plays an entrepreneurial transporter. The aim of the game is to be the first to earn a certain amount of play money. The player who is the first to receive the agreed amount in cash is the winner. Players can earn money by transporting cargo between the different cities with their truck. You can invest the earned money in order to earn more money even faster. You can buy extra and larger trucks with more cargo space. You can even buy a Mega Trailer that allows you to transport extra large cargo (mega load), which generates extra money. You can also increase the range of your trucks by investing in a diesel depot. You can also ensure that you obtain more orders (cargo) by investing in a Warehouse. To arrive at cargo, you as a transporter have to bid on a cargo card. Then the load "ready for loading" is placed on the city of departure on the game board. Payment is made upon delivery of the full load. As a transporter, it is therefore important to plan the route with the correct type of truck. The game board is divided into sections with dotted lines. The cost of transport depends on the truck you are driving. If you have a larger truck, the costs to drive 1 compartment are higher. The dice rolls determine by means of a legend on the game board which action you have to take during your turn. This could be: taking a chance card and reading it, taking a cargo card and auctioning or driving the trucks. Some actions only apply to the player whose turn it is, other actions apply to all players at the same time.
