About the game
Get ready to dive into the vibrant and bustling floating markets of Asia in Dschunke! In this game, you and your fellow merchants (or apprentices!) will navigate between boats packed with exotic goods, connected by narrow wooden footbridges. The goal? To strike the best possible deals to supply the city's major markets and, of course, become the most respected trader in all of Asia.

The key to success in Dschunke is clever coordination of your actions and, especially, mastery of the auctions. You'll need to be on the right junk at the right time to snap up the most valuable goods. Each round, players move between boats, assess the available products, and participate in fierce auctions to acquire what they need. The tension is constant, as competition is fierce and every bid counts.

Lasting 45 to 60 minutes, Dschunke offers a strategic and engaging experience for 3 to 4 players. It's a game that balances the luck of the draw with negotiation skill and the shrewdness to read your opponents. If you enjoy economic games with plenty of interaction and the thrill of auctions, you'll feel right at home in this floating market.
