Movers & Shakers
Alla fine del XIX secolo, il Bengala divenne un fulcro chiave per l'espansione ferroviaria nell'India britannica, superando i precedenti sviluppi in altre parti del paese. La East Indian Railway Company guidò l'iniziativa, a partire dalla linea Howrah-Hooghly nel 1854. Spinta da esigenze strategiche, economiche e di esportazione, la rete ferroviaria si diffuse rapidamente in tutta la regione. Entro la fine del secolo, il Bengala vantava uno dei sistemi ferroviari più estesi e vitali dell'India, alimentando sia il commercio che il controllo coloniale.
In Movers & Shakers, vesti i panni di un magnate delle ferrovie nel Bengala del XIX secolo, in competizione per trasportare merci, rispettare contratti e investire saggiamente i profitti. In due round strategici, userai i tuoi treni e quelli dei rivali per spostare le casse tra Benares e Calcutta, con l'obiettivo di accumulare ricchezza attraverso una pianificazione oculata e decisioni coraggiose. Solo il magnate più ambizioso ed efficiente riuscirà a plasmare il futuro delle ferrovie del Bengala.
