#2  
* “This is an entirely new kind of trading game. Each player owns a mining company producing ore. The ore must be carried to the coast and then exported- using lorries, barges and ships. The keen trader can control the transport and make his rivals pay heavily for his services. The struggle to expand business, keep adequate sterling balances, achieve maximum dollar exports and keep ahead of rivals, produces one of the most compelling and absorbing games ever invented.

Later editions were called Business game.
