Introduction: The Century Collection takes you on a global journey through different periods of time, exploring unique trading methods while traveling to find the perfect mix of spices. Since the Bronze Age, trading has been an important socioeconomic activity for humanity. It encouraged the development of roads, motivated the progress of navigation techniques, and inspired the exploaration of new continents. It took many centuries to achieve these improvements. In this box, you will find Emerson Matsuuchi’s groundbreaking innovative trilogy, containing all three original games in one convenient place. Each game can be played as a stand- alone or combined together for greater challenge and more replayability. Spice Road: Centuries ago, the spice trade was the most important market in the world. It established and destroyed empires, compelled men to explore the far corners of the earth, and led to the discovery of new worlds. At that time, the value of spices even rivaled that of gold! In the old days, they carried a sense of mystery and allure. Spice merchants would weave fantastic tales of danger to reach these spices in hopes of selling their wares at high prices. In later centuries, the demand on spices became so great, that those who controlled the spices generated immense wealth and renown. It is at this time, you find yourself leading your caravan across the eastern lands to the Mediterranean Sea in search of wealth and fortune. Eastern Wonders: The lucrative spice trade compelled the prosperous nations of the world to explore alternate routes to the sources of these precious goods. Many nations ventured across the seas to seek out exotic lands. This led to the discovery of the famed Spice Islands where the most valuable spices of the world were found. This discovery led to further expeditions, competition... and later, war. This era became known as the Age of Discovery. Your journey continues in the Far East. A New World: With the development of navigation techniques, it became easier for humankind to reach faraway regions. Lately, many explorers have discovered a mysterious land to the West and there is no way you would miss this opportunity. You just set foot on this new continent, and there is much to do. Establish your colony in the wilderness, get some help from the natives and lead your people to prosperity! 3 Games • 4 Combinations = 7 unique gameplays! |
