Read the full game description
Bombay is a route-planning and pick-up-and-deliver game set across a colorful network of Indian cities. Players spend a small allowance of action points to move their elephant, buy silk bales at trading posts, and sell them where demand is strongest. Markets change as goods are taken, while customer tokens and palace construction reward efficient routes beyond the immediate sale. Every turn asks whether to invest in position, cargo, or a scoring opportunity before another merchant reaches it first.
