Introduction: All aboard!! Home Port is shipping in some serious fun! Home Port is a shipping themed board game, designed to bring people together around a journey of fun, concentration and celebration. Home Port incorporates economic principles such as supply and demand, cash-flow, buying and selling of both natural resources and containerized goods, as well as various real-life applications affecting the world of shipping and international trade. The pick-up-and-delivery mechanism adds an exciting flow to the game, while the systematic movement of sailing ships across the map creates an awareness of physical and time constraints. The overall aim of the game is to acquire 7 Game Point Tokens first, combining strategic planning, fleet expansion, turnaround improvement and financial escalation. Home Port – the ultimate shipping theme board game. |
Features: The game plays 2-5 players for about 60-90 minutes with the aim of achieving 7 Game Point Tokens. Each of the players receives 3 ships (an Oil tanker, a Fishing vessel, and a Container ship) in order to trade with the different 3 resources in the game - Oil, Fish and Containers. Transactions are paid for with HP-currency and prices are determined by a supply and demand sliding scale on the ‘World Price Ladder’. Ships move by dice-roll between ports and resourcing locations (i.e. oil rigs) and also affected by ocean currents and other industry related events.
