Colonia — Prices

Imagine being one of the powerful heads of the patrician families in medieval Cologne, the jewel of the Holy Roman Empire. The setting is one of pure power struggle and influence. The city is famous for its imposing cathedrals and non-stop trade, and you want to be the one calling the shots in the City Council. To reach the top, money isn't enough; you need prestige, and the fastest way to get it is by collecting sacred and valuable relics. But how do you afford these relics if they cost a fortune? That's where the game shines: you must master the trade flow. The cycle is straightforward: buy commodities, produce goods, and sell them for the best possible price. The more profit you make from trading, the more breathing room you'll have to participate in auctions and secure the rarest relics. But watch out, because local politics are intense. You won't be alone in this; you'll have to deal with voting and decisions that affect the entire city, alongside competing in fierce auctions against other ambitious families. The game perfectly blends economic management with the tension of wanting to control the fate of a medieval metropolis. In the end, whoever manages to assemble the most valuable collection of relics will be crowned the most influential family in Cologne's history. It's a classic strategy game where every sales decision and every auction bid could be the difference between glory and obscurity.
