Bombay is a light commerce and transport game that puts you in the shoes of a 20th‑century Indian merchant. Each turn you’re given a limited number of action points to spend on buying goods at trading posts, moving your elephant between cities, building palaces or trading items with other players. The goal is to earn rupees, the local currency, by selling merchandise in the four major hubs of Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta and Hyderabad. Every commodity has its own market, with prices that fluctuate based on the demand of the cities, so you need to know when to buy low and when to sell high. In addition, when you arrive in a city you receive a city token, and when you collect three or four tokens you gain extra rupees. Palaces constructed at strategic points also generate income, especially if opponents are forced to pass through them. The game blends action, strategy and a touch of luck, but it’s the management of action points and the forecasting of prices that really shape the play. With 2 to 5 players, 30 to 60 minutes and a moderate complexity level, Bombay is perfect for fans of trading, transport and set‑collection games who don’t want to get lost in overly complex rules. The most striking component is the elephant, which can carry up to two loads, giving the movement a fun, visual flair. If you’ve enjoyed “The 7th Continent” or “Ticket to Ride,” you’ll feel right at home here. In short, Bombay offers a light yet strategic experience with plenty of player interaction and a vibrant Indian setting. The board is laid out as a network of routes that link the five main trading points, each with spaces for palaces and for elephants to move across. The components include 20 elephant tokens, 50 commodity cards, 25 price cards, 20 city tokens and 5 palace tokens, all printed on colorful artwork that evokes Stéphane Poinsot’s lively illustrations. The production quality is high, with sturdy pieces that stand up to daily play, and the graphic design brings to life the bright, bustling atmosphere of India, making the game visually appealing and instantly recognizable.
