Sail to India

Players act as Portuguese nobles funding voyages during the Age of Discovery, developing trade routes to India and supporting explorers. The game uses a single versatile pawn per player that represents money, score, ship position and building status, and its movement determines available actions. Each turn players spend two action points to move their pawn and take actions from a menu of twelve options, manage six product types and construct or use three kinds of buildings to expand trade channels. Resource management and careful pawn positioning drive engine building and scoring over the course of the game.
