You run an import office in Victorian London, securing fine teas, fulfilling lucrative contracts and investing in companies. Players select worker actions like importing tea, expanding companies, opening trading posts, fulfilling contracts and buying shares to gain resources and business opportunities. The game ends when the dividend token reaches the track end or when shares of three companies are depleted; the player with the most money wins.

Actions generate resources, improve your office and open new opportunities. The dividend track and available shares determine endgame triggers and investment payoff.
