Game description from the publisher: Welcome to the heady days of global finance! Money and deals are flowing like water. From sparse beginnings build your empire across the globe, sending agents far and wide as you expend capital and gain access to valuable resources needed to fulfill lucrative contracts. Struggle to dominate world markets and control resources regionally. Expand your interests, and acquire companies that provide an edge on the competition and more efficient use of resources. The venture capital market is giving away money – you don't even have to pay it back – but it does tie up valuable agents until you do. You can always use an extra agent on your quest to dominate the world. Global Mogul is a limited action, worker placement, resource acquisition, and opportunity management game. Win by being best at balancing your short term goal of fulfilling contracts for cash with your long term goals of building corporate infrastructure, controlling markets, and regions. So, what are you waiting for? The world awaits...
