Arkwright: Anniversary (English)

Arkwright is an economic board game designed by Stefan Risthaus, where players take on the role of entrepreneurs in 18th century England, building and managing factories. In this new anniversary edition, the game has been simplified and updated with a new rulebook and new illustrations. The game offers different gaming experiences through different modules, including the “Spinning Mule” and “Waterframe” variants, as well as an “East India” module. It also offers a single-player mode, called "Automat", which allows a single player to face artificial opponents.

In Arkwright, players take on the role of entrepreneurs, producing and selling goods such as fabric, cutlery, lamps and bread in different markets. They manage up to four factories, balancing workers and machines, while exploiting the opportunities and challenges presented by end-of-decade events. The goal is to outperform the competition, accumulate wealth, and increase the value of the company's stock, without taking on debt, which automatically leads to losses. Succeed at the start of the Industrial Revolution and drive the growth of your business and England.
