About the game
What you do in a play session
In Agra, India, in the year 1572, Emperor Akbar is celebrating his 30th birthday, and the city is bustling with nobles and emissaries from across the empire. This is your golden opportunity to increase your influence and wealth! As an ambitious landowner, you cultivate cotton and turmeric, quarry sandstone, and produce wood. The trick is to transform these raw materials into more luxurious goods through trading and processing, to impress the important guests arriving in the capital. But beware, your rivals are eyeing the same opportunity and will do everything to outsmart you.
Agra is a complex strategy game where you'll manage your resources, allocate workers to perform actions, and expand your influence in the region. Trading is key to obtaining the materials you need and turning your production into something valuable. Every decision counts as you try to outperform your opponents and stand out during the imperial festivities. Prepare for a challenge that demands planning and cunning to thrive in the heart of the Mughal Empire.
