Conservas

What you love most in life is bringing the joys of the sea to the people around the world. You own a small tinning company along the coast of Spain and you simply make the best conservas for everyone to enjoy. You must manage your small company, from the boats going out in the morning to harvest the fish or the selling of your tinned fish. Each month, you will have special goals, but it isn’t always about making the most money. In addition to your financial goals, you will want to balance your impact on the sea - if you harm the ocean due to overfishing, then you will fail in your mission. As you balance your relationship with the sea, you will work hard to continue to make the best conservas in the world!

In a game of Conservas, you will start each season with a single boat and little money. The sea will be represented by a bag of chits - a mix of fish and empty water. Each round you will fish from the bag, taking some fish back to your facility for tinning while leaving others at sea to breed. You must maintain a delicate balance between fishing and allowing populations to grow in order to win. Each scenario will have a unique set of goals - both financial targets and sustainability goals - that you must achieve. Each scenario has a unique market as well, with unique rules and strategies for making a profit. With 12 scenarios, randomized decks of boats and upgrade cards, each game will offer a unique puzzle as you grow your company.
