LANDHAFEN
A container port game by Daniel Muntean
One of the biggest ships has docked. Players take the role of Terminal Operators, who have just 4 days/turns to prove themselves by unloading and sending Containers on their way to the main land, while fulfilling contracts. The most efficient player will receive full ownership of this Port’s operations and get the recognition for surviving the worst congestions in the Shipping industry.
At heart, it’s a competitive pick up and deliver, worker-placement, medium euro game for 2-5 players. One of the core mechanism is “I split, You choose”, which creates a wonderful balanced interaction between players. This is how they get and stack Containers in their warehouses, before delivering them on trains to receive money, or on trucks to receive Victory Points. It’s a fun strategy simulation of a modern Container Port for gamers looking for a challenge.
