Boardgames for Trans-Atlantic Audiences

The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 marked the beginning of an amazing development in the world of steamships, with the emergence of bigger, faster, and more modern vessels. While in 1870, there were still many clippers around, and the iconic paddle steamer Scotia sailed the North Atlantic, the sea trade was increasingly dominated by huge vessels such as Mauretania (Cunard), Olympic (White Star), and Imperator (Hapag).

In the game Transatlantic, players take on the role of shipping company owners, tasked with transporting freight, mail, and passengers around the globe, and purchasing new steamships from the market, each with their unique historical technical data. Designed by the creator of Concordia, Transatlantic offers a captivating experience for players of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced.

The game's competitive nature is particularly evident in the North Atlantic, where the coveted Blue Riband is not only a matter of prestige but can also lead to profitable investments. Players must carefully manage their resources, strategize their routes, and outsmart their opponents to emerge victorious in this thrilling maritime adventure.

Transatlantic is an expansion game, requiring the base game Concordia to play. The package weighs 1.0 kilograms, ensuring a substantial and engaging gaming experience. Whether you're a fan of maritime history, strategic gameplay, or simply seeking a new challenge, Transatlantic promises to transport you to the golden age of steamship travel, where the race for dominance on the high seas is fiercely contested.
