If you have an interest in high seas trade during the age of piracy, but might not want to play solely as a pirate, there’s a project on Kickstarter – from Golden Age Games – which may shiver your timbers. Captains of the Golden Age is a trading game where up to four players compete to control the Mighty Trading Company by any means at their disposal. Monopolize trade routes, upgrade your ship and crew, attack other shipping, and outwit your opponents to be declared the victor.
Captains of the Golden Age runs through June 28th and you can reserve a copy of the game at the $44 pledge level.
About the project:
Captains of the Golden Age is set in a fictional ‘East-Indies’ where pepper is worth more than gold. Four competitive captains seek to control the Mighty Trading Company. You sail around the globe in search of cargo to upgrade your precious ship. Add sails to travel far and wide, expand your cargo-hold to earn and carry more cargo, upgrade and fire your cannons to damage other ships, or board other ships with your crew to steal their cargo! Wherever you go and whatever you choose; the captain who controls the pepper trade controls the Mighty Trading Company!
Our main goal when we created this game was to replace luck, chance and randomness by player interaction and a high replayability.
