Arkwright Anniversary Edition

Arkwright is an economic board game designed by Stefan Risthaus, where players take on the roles 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 artwork. The game offers different gameplay experiences through various modules, including the "Spinning Mule" and "Waterframe" variants, as well as an "East India" module. It also features a solo mode, called "Automat," which allows a single player to compete against artificial opponents.

In Arkwright, players take on the roles of entrepreneurs, producing and selling goods such as cloth, cutlery, lamps, and bread in various markets. They manage up to four factories, balancing workers and machinery, while taking advantage of the opportunities and challenges presented by the events of the decade's end. The goal is to outmaneuver the competition, accumulate wealth, and increase the value of the company's stock, without incurring debt, which automatically leads to losses. Succeed at the beginning of the industrial revolution and boost the growth of your business and England.
