Players buy shares in the companies and expand them to their advantage, aiming to build the most valuable portfolio.
They are used either to purchase new cards or to advance along a company track to earn shares, cash and other bonuses.
Exploration cards, also valued from 1 to 4, add trading posts to the map, increasing a company's share price and giving various rewards to the player.
Bonus markers are placed on worker placement spaces on the board to claim various benefits.
Majority spaces advance the player with the most valuable goods or exploration cards along a company track.
