The Ruhr: A Story of Coal Trade

You are transported to the Ruhr region in the 18th century, at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Coal, after being discovered in Haspelknecht, is in high demand as the cities and factories throughout the region are in need of this coveted resource. The Ruhr River presented a convenient route of transportation from the coal mines. However, the Ruhr was filled with obstacles and large dams making it incredibly difficult to navigate. Trade coal for valuable upgrades and plan your route to victory along the Ruhr!
The Ruhr: A Story of Coal Trade is the second game of Thomas Spizter’s historic coal trilogy.

Also Featuring:
The Ohio: 1811-1861, an included standalone expansion of The Ruhr. Players transport and trade goods along the Ohio River during a time when Ohio became heavily populated as its industries fluorished.
