Today, we have the pleasure to introduce an industrial era themed game: The Ruhr: A Story of Coal Trade (the new edition of Ruhrschifffahrt 1769-1890) from designer Thomas Spitzer, published by Capstone Games is now available on Board Game Arena.
History enthusiasts and expert eurogames fans, rejoice! With The Ruhr: A Story of Coal Trade, you'll get to live the start of the industrial revolution along the Ruhr river, at the time when coal became a crucial ressource and transport had to be organized to meet the growing demands of cities and factories. You'll transport coal downriver by barge, but unfortunately the Ruhr was filled with obstacles at the time that made it difficult to navigate, so you'll have to make the best of it, and build locks and warehouses to get your coal to its destination in the best possible condition to sell it at the highest possible value.
The Ruhr: A Story of Coal Trade is an expert, no luck type of game where every choice you make will be crucial. Money is pretty tight and you'll have to manage it carefully, take debts if needed, but be sure to be able to repay them before the end. We advise you to take some time to absorb the rules, make good note of the way extra points are awarded during the end of game scoring, and to refer to the rules or in-game tooltips to check the construction costs along the game (and to use the browser zoom if you need to see some part of the map better). This will allow you to better enjoy living this slice of history optimizing coal transportation in the 18th and 19th century!
For this game, we would like to thank the designer Thomas Spitzer (Brett_Schmitt) for his interest in bringing his game on BGA and implication in playtesting along the way, and the developer DrKarotte, who for his 4th game adaptation using BGA Studio brings to the community a really well implemented, complex and rewarding eurogame!
We are also really happy to say that this game is the 150th to be published on BGA. Wow! We would like to thank again all the publishers trusting us to showcase their games on the internet, and all the incredible developers passionate about games who volunteered their time and skills to implement so many great online game adaptations.
Cheers to all!
魯爾：煤炭貿易的故事（Ruhrschiffahrt 1769-1890）
今天，我們高興地介紹一個工業時代主題遊戲：魯爾：煤炭貿易的故事 （新版本的 Ruhrschifffahrt 1769-1890 ）由設計師湯瑪斯·斯皮策，出版於 Capstone Games ，現在已經可在 BGA 上遊玩。
現在就遊玩吧!
歷史愛好者和專業歐洲遊戲粉絲，歡呼吧！
有了魯爾：煤炭貿易的故事，你就可以沿著魯爾河開啟工業革命，當時煤炭成為一項關鍵的資源，必須藉由運輸，以滿足城市與工廠不斷增長的需求。
你將會用駁船把煤運到下游，但不幸的是，魯爾當時到處都是障礙物, 這讓它很難航行，所以你必須隨機應變，建造水閘和倉庫讓你的煤以最佳狀況抵達目的地、獲得最好的售價。
魯爾：煤炭貿易的故事是一個專家型、沒有運氣成分的遊戲，你所做的每一個選擇都將是至關重要的。
資金緊缺，你必須小心管理，如果有必要的話就貸款，但請確保在遊戲結束前償還。
我們建議您花一些時間來理解規則，在遊戲評分結束時，請注意額外積分的授予方式，並參考規則或遊戲中的工具提示，以檢查遊戲中的施工成本（如果需要更好地看到地圖的某些部分，您可以使用瀏覽器縮放）。
這將讓你更好地享受生活在這一段在 18 世紀和 19世紀組織煤炭運輸的歷史！
對於這個遊戲，我們要感謝設計師湯瑪斯·斯皮策（Brett_Schmitt），感謝他願意把他的遊戲帶到 BGA 上，並在整個遊戲測試過程中的提示，也感謝開發人員 drkarotte，他在bga 工作室上的第 4 版改編給社群帶來了一個執行良好，複雜和有益的歐洲遊戲！
我們也很高興地說，這是在 BGA 上發佈的第 150 個遊戲。
哇！我們要再次感謝所有的出版商信任我們在互聯網上展示他們的遊戲，和每個了不起的、對遊戲充滿熱情的開發者，他們自願貢獻他們的時間和技術來進行這麼多優秀的線上遊戲改編。
乾杯!
