Players take on the roles of 19th-century capitalists building up their industrial enterprises, striving to make as much money as possible by buying companies, extracting raw materials, and processing them in the best possible combinations.

The game is played over 4 rounds and each round has 2 phases: Auction and Production.

During the auction phase, players bid on companies. The player with the highest bid wins the company, while all lower bidders receive compensation (which can sometimes be even more profitable).

During the production phase, players use their businesses to acquire, process, or sell raw materials, ultimately upgrading their businesses to maximize their profits. Players must optimize their production chain and find the most efficient way to earn the most money, as the richest player wins the game.
