Passport Game Studio will release Dutch game publisher Splotter Spellen’s Indonesia and The Great Zimbabwe to U.S. trade audiences.
Indonesia is an area control and bidding game designed by Jeroen Doumen and Joris Wiersinga. Players are merchants, building an economy and trying to acquire the most money. Players can purchase production companies which produce goods, and shipping companies which deliver the goods to cities. As the cities grow, their demand increases. There are three eras in the game. When only one type of company is left, an era ends. Each new era introduces new cities, companies and types of goods. At the end of the third era, the player with the most money wins.
The game is for 2 – 5 players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 180 - 240 minutes. The game will release in late 2016. MSRP was not announced.
The Great Zimbabwe is an economic civilization-building game designed by Jeroen Doumen and Joris Wiersinga. Players head civilizations that they are trying to develop though building craftsmen, buying technology, gathering resources and worshiping a deity. The real goal is to build a network of monuments, the higher the better. The secret is to balance the different aspects of the game, don’t over-develop the economy or use too much technology, or the number of victory points needed to win will be raised. The turn order can be manipulated, and natural resources are scarce, so players will have to strategize how to use their one action per turn.The game is for 2 – 5 players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 90 - 150 minutes. The game will release in early 2017. MSRP was not announced.
