At the beginning of the XVI
century the city of Rouen is the main French port. The City’s wealth
is dependent on fishing and trading salted fish. Salt produced in
the mines has to be loaded onto ships and used to preserve herring
and cod fished in the Atlantic Ocean. Every week ships full of salt
barrels leave Rouen for the fishing grounds of the Atlantic Ocean,
and, once back, the goods are sold in the city markets.
The players represent
City merchants: they invest in ships and City buildings to try to
get rich.
Who will be the richest
merchant of Rouen, when Francis I, King of France, comes to visit
the City?
Upon a Salty Ocean is a strategic economical game for 2-4
players. A play last about 100 minutes. The game is a multilingual
edition (English, Italian, Dutch, German, French).
