Yokohama

Yokohama transports players to Japan during the transformative Meiji era, where they assume the roles of ambitious merchants striving to establish their businesses and gain fame through successful trade ventures. As Japan opens its doors to the world and embraces modernization, the once-sleepy fishing village of Yokohama has blossomed into the country's most important trading hub. Players must skillfully navigate the bustling streets and docks, seeking out profitable opportunities to expand their influence and become the most successful merchant in this thriving city.

In Yokohama, players manage their president and assistants to explore various districts of the city, where they can acquire trade goods like copper and raw silk, import foreign technology, and construct shops and trading houses. Every turn presents choices that shape a player’s strategy, from fulfilling trade orders to mastering new technologies that grant powerful advantages. As players roam the different areas of Yokohama, they’ll build a network of shops and trading posts, making it easier to access the city’s resources and outmaneuver their competitors.

Strategic planning is crucial, as players must position their president and assistants wisely to maximize their efficiency and make the best use of the available resources. Throughout the game, players can earn points through fulfilling orders, developing technology, establishing shops, and interacting with foreign agents. The merchant with the most fame points at the end of the game will be declared the winner, solidifying their reputation as Yokohama’s most influential merchant.
