About the game

In Mombasa, players acquire shares of chartered companies based in Mombasa, Cape Town, Saint-Louis, and Cairo and spread their trading posts throughout the African continent in order to earn the most money."As I expected, the East African Company's network of trading posts has spread far into the West.
