Wealth of Nations: Speculate..Accumulate...Then Dominate the Resources of 5 Continents

This is a boxed game and it is unpunched and unopened. We are selling it in a 'like new' condition - still contained in the original shrink wrapping.

The players run around the world trying to acquire exploitation rights to various raw materials (metals, oil and basic vegetal products such as coffee and tobacco). Each country is assigned (randomly) a royalty marker, which triggers payment of royalties to players controlling at least 30% of the corresponding titles when the country is visited. Player's actions on their turn are driven by the outer track. Victory is by elimination, as other players are driven to bankruptcy

Wealth of Nations is the exciting trading game of strategy and chance in which you travel the world dealing in commodities and production. Build empires in any of 24 products, such as gold, coffee or automobile construction, but be careful not to get driven into bankruptcy. The decisions that you must take in this game are what to buy and what to sell; when to buy and when to sell. Will you be strong enough to win the game on your own or should you form a syndicate with another player(s) to counter a stronger opponent?

Principles of Play:

Speculate - As you visit each country invest in the wealth each nation has to offer (petrol, uranium, rice, etc). Each share certificate you buy entitles you to a percentage of global production.

Accumulate - Group shares of the same commodity together and start to collect royalties from your opponents. Players may own up to 90% of global production, so look for good opportunities to invest. Remember, the bigger the stake the higher the return.

Dominate - Build an empire of money-spinning investments across five continents. Your weapon is monopoly power, your objective to drive your opponents into bankruptcy.

Things happen quickly in Wealth of Nations so you'll need to keep your wits about you! Successful players will plan ahead, balance bravery with caution and, above all, recognise the true worth of the world's resources
