Game Review (written by Eric) Added on: 02/09/2008
The game 1869 is an economic management game that revolves around the concept of imperialism. The game, developed by Max Design is set in the nineteenth century.
Your goal in the game is to earn as much money as you can, given the situation in the game. Just how can do you earn money in the game? By engaging in commodities trading. There are so many products that you can trade from perishable good such as fruits to weapons. The perishable gifts have different expiration times.

There are so many products that you can trade from perishable good such as fruits to weapons. The perishable gifts have different expiration times. You must consider the expiration of products when you take them to different ports.
At the start of the game, you will need to register your trading company and choose a home port. The game is played on a map

that is divided into four continents: Asia, Europe, North America and South America. You can see ports on the map where you can bring commodities for trading. At the start of the game you will also choose ships to use for trading. You will also hire crews that will work on the ships.
When you click on the ports, you will be able to access a menu that details the places that you can go to. You can do this if you have a ship in the particular port. Through the menu port you can visit the local trader who can buy the products you are selling. You can also purchase commodities which you can sell to the other ports and earn a profit. The money you can use to purchase from the local dealer is the money you have with you on the ship. This means you have to plan your trips to get the most out of each trip.
When you get familiar with the routes, you can already plan your trips better and get more lucrative deals. You will also learn how to best sail the seas because there are problems that may arise as you travel such as storms and others.
Like in real life, the amount of money you can demand for your products are affected by different market factors. The prices of the commodities are affected by the demand for the product. Some ports require certain products more than others. It is also affected by political and social events.
You can earn really good money from gun running but when you bring weapons to areas where there are conflicts, there is risk that you will get raided or encounters other problems in the port.
This game is unique and interesting and I highly recommend it!
