In Wealth of Nations , you take on the role of a national
leader. Your goal is to take your nation from humble beginnings to the status of
a world economic superpower. You achieve this by building Industries, which
allows you to produce Commodities. There are six types of Industry tiles: Farms,
Generators, Academies, Mines, Factories, and Banks. Each Industry is capable of
producing a certain type of Commodity: Food, Energy, Labor, Ore, Capital, and
money (respectively).
Each Commodity has one or more uses in the game. For example, Food is
required to feed your Industries when they produce, while Capital is used to
build certain types of Industries. As you build Industries, you create ever
larger Industrial Blocs. The larger a Bloc is, the greater your return on
investment when the Bloc produces Commodities.
The main focus of the game is trade. Because it is economically unfeasible to
produce every Commodity you need, you must engage in trade to get the
Commodities that you require. Each Commodity has a trade value influenced by the
Markets.
There is one Market for each type of Commodity. If you can't gain a Commodity
that you need by trading with your fellow players, you must buy it from the
Market. Buying a Commodity from the Market increases its price, reflecting
increased demand. Similarly, there are times when you can't unload your surplus
Commodities because your fellow players have no need for them. If you wish to
earn money from these Commodities, you must sell them to the Market. Selling a
Commodity to the Market decreases its price, reflecting increased supply.
As you build new Industries and earn more money, you acquire Victory Points.
The player with the most Victory Points at the end of the game, i.e., the player
with the most valuable combination of Industries and money, is the winner.
How will you build your Nation?
