Cards & Components

Boards

Main board

Main railway board from the final rulebook

The board has two faces for 1–2 or 3–4 players. It contains Benares and Calcutta, the clockwise railway, straight sections and junctions, loading spaces, city Warehouses, the Shipping zone, Market and Performance tracks, and the Investment grid. Replace the grid for a three-player game.

Company board

Company action spaces and tracks

Each board has six card spaces, six paired Company actions, two active Contract spaces, a Market column, four Goods value tracks, a Treasury track, a Performance reminder, and spaces for Trading Posts and Investment references.

Terminology varies across the French final core book, BGG discussions, and English Master Print leaflet. The core-rule pages here call the scoring piece a Transaction token; the English leaflet calls it a Deal tile. They refer to the corresponding marker shown in the translated core setup. The leaflet calls the placed scoring piece an Agency; the core pages here call these Trading Posts. The English card-reference booklet and full Contract face list were not recovered, so this page does not claim to audit every individual card face.

Quined Games’ promo-set listing shows the six-card set. The cards overlap in the publisher image, so it serves as a set overview only; individual promo faces and their effects remain unaudited.

Icons

Precious Goods · Bonds · Resources · Infrastructure

Four Goods use separate value tracks and score by multiplication. The Company board’s coloured seals distinguish Commercial from Strategic Contracts. Car size determines capacity and Performance; Ship number sets its Shipping reward and tie-break order. Rupees use the ₹ symbol in the final French rulebook for readability.
