★ ★ ★ CARGO RUNNERS DESCRIPTION ★ ★ ★
Trouble Brothers’ second originally designed game for iPad, Cargo Runners is played on a beautifully designed map of the world. The object of the game is to captain a ship that must journey around the globe racing to gather cargo as you compete for valuable contracts that earn you victory.
All the world’s a stage! Thirty cargo ports-of-call with six different types of goods: Aerospace, Apparel, Coffee, Energy, Fruit and Lumber. Six home ports, each with a couple of contracts that need to be delivered. A race to determine the captain of the sea!
Every game is different because the contracts always change. Dice rolls determine movement and you bank what you don’t use. Every turn, there is a chance that bad weather or political crisis will impede your decision. Often, there will be Communiqué cards that will give you bonus opportunities. Always, you will have to watch what the other players are doing.
Cargo Runners has the classic feel of a mid-50s board game - only it’s not! It’s brand new, designed specifically to take advantage of all the benefits of the iPad’s graphics and computing power. Cargo Runners can be played on a single iPad just like you would a regular board game or with its Game Center “Online Multiplayer” functionality, you can sail the world over with real players from all across the globe. A light strategy game built to bring back the joys of sitting around the coffee table sharing an evening’s entertainment.
