Oranienburger Kanal is an exciting new game by renowned designer Uwe Rosenberg for 1 or 2 players!
Between 1832 and 1837 the eponymous Oranienburger Kanal was built in Brandenburg. Below the mills of Oranienburg conditions for working were difficult, so an artificial branch of the Havel River was created. It cut the older Ruppiner Canal, and the four way canal was created.During the industrialization of the 19th Century the most diverse trade and industrial businesses were located at this important canal. In addition, new connections via roads and rail were established.
In Oranienburger Kanal you plan and build new industrial areas. Even though your plans are vague at the beginning, you raise structures and shape the infrastructure. You raise paths, build roads and lay track. You also gradually excavate parts of the canal. Most important are bridges, with them you connect the structures.
At the end of the game you select the best industrial area by adding up the prestige points of your structures, routes, thaler and remaining materials together with the prestige points earned during the game!
