Description Edit | History

Judging by the smirk on the face of the Sultan of Solo, the businessman from North Sumatra has just made a mistake. And a costly one at that, too. He has paid way too much for merging his rubber company with the Sultan’s extensive rubber plantations: there are no ships in the area to transport the rubber to the booming cities of Java. And the Sultan is now dripping in cash — he can bribe city authorities so that his ships will gain preferential access to those ports where they are competing. Or he might invest in building an oil imperium. But wait — what’s that young fellow over there up to? Buying all the shipping lines? That might change the outlook … considerably, in fact … let’s see…

Indonesia is a game in which 2-5 players build up an economy. As the game unfolds, the basic agricultural economy develops into early industry —the players getting rich in the meantime by producing and transporting goods, and by acquiring and merging companies at the right time, and for the right price. The game takes three to four hours to complete.

3 Block Labels for Boat Replacements
This file contains labels for both sides of 3/4 inch wooden blocks to be used as replacements for the wooden boats that come with the game. This is intended to make it easier to keep track of how much hull capacity is left during an operation phase when goods are being shipped.

4 Indonesia Calculators
One of the problems of this game is the amount of calculations involved in the merger and operations phase. Here are 3 calculators(excel file) that hopefully will improve gameplay by doing those calculations for you automatically. You can use this to calculate the outcome of a merger, calculate the earnings for goods sold to cities and the cost of shipping it and finally calculate your cash balance after potential company mergers and sales or goods. I don't know bout you but it's quite helpful especially when you have a handy pda or smartphone around that can handle excel files. Just key in the values and voila! Feel free to modify or distribute it. Do drop me some comments and suggestions if you have any. Have fun!
