Had a Finnish version of this (or a newer edition perhaps, as it was called New Wangaratta) that I remember playing as a kid with my dad and brothers. Still might have it somewhere at our summer cottage…
I think New Wangaratta had some other pieces, to keep control of the cargo. Otherwise, this version was the worst one. The original with Real Ships and Flags was way much better, at least more good looking. I love this game, (once I understood the money exchange).
@@FelloniusWizard Yes, it did and we are actually planning to use a variation of the very same idea (Nya Wangaratta had coloured plastic paperclips) in a boardgame we’re working on to track some stuff related to player development etc. I loved the game as a kid but obviously never thought of playing too much with currencies either, except for the obvious ”sell/buy where it makes sense” tactics…
+jGazMom First off, I suspect I get most foreign viewers in the beginning. It's therefore natural to do the subtitles. Secondly, it's something I have wanted to try for a long time, learning the SRTedit-program and all. Thirdly, it's fun to show people games I guess they've never have seen or ever will se. And later, after some years, you'll see Swedish comments coming in, when they search the net for rules and stuff. :-)
+Skoffert Allt för att göra det lätt-tillgängligt för många! Man vet ju inte vem som söker ett visst spel. Jodu, det finns en bunt. Och bara för att de är "gamla" eller begagnade, är inte alla dåliga.
Skoffert Kikar man överlag på spelen, är det frågesport och rese-varianter på några få gamla. Utomrikes är det annorlunda, Europa och Staterna är stora på nya spel.

Doesn't look like I'd enjoy this one. I DO appreciate you taking the time to do these subtitles. :D

FelloniusWizard
So eventually you will be famous in Sweden, at least to board game enthusiasts. :)
jGazMom Who knows? :-D
Vad ovant att ha svenskt språk och engelsk textning!
Vad mycket spel det finns egentligen, som man aldrig hört talas om ens!

+FelloniusWizard Nej, många gamla klassiker håller i sig och det blir ju mer och mer risk att de nya blir bleka kopior.
