The Ruhr A Story of Coal Trade

In The Ruhr: A Story of Coal Trade, the second game of Thomas Spitzer's historic coal trilogy.

Players transport and sell coal to cities and factories along the Ruhr river in the 18th and 19th centuries. By selling coal to cities and factories, players acquire unique progress markers. In the beginning, players have access only to low value coal. By selling coal to certain locations, players gain access to high value coal.

In addition to selling coal, the players build warehouses, build locks, and export coal to neighboring countries in the pursuit of the most victory points.
