Overview

What ABG knows about this game

London, 1901. At the world famous Portobello Market, the goal in the morning is to secure the best places to build stalls. Try to place your stalls in the most lucrative manner, cut off your opponents, and grab the most profitable alleys for yourself. You can build only where the Bobby stands—but a little cash will make the Bobby stand where you want him to! East India Railway was the prototype title for this game, and it became Portobello Market when published by Schmidt.
