On to India is a very complex strategy game.

Game play briefly summarized:
Man traveling with ships at sea and collect this through various actions VPs: by the construction of buildings in cities, the sale of goods and the development of new technologies. Per train each player are 2 trains. You can develop Besides the aforementioned actions like build, buy / sell and technologies simply Seestraße follow to explore new regions, expand the reach of its ships or take another wooden block from the bank, which you can use in later actions. (Each player has to first only 5 dice available which restricts the actions.)

Complexity:
The game shows its complexity, especially by the many strategies that can be applied to reach the goal and to win points. The key here lies in the technology cards: if you, for example, the technology can acquire architecture to build cheaper buildings and collect in this way victory points. Or if you acquire the technology factory to earn more when selling trading goods.
Complex is the game also by the fact that one has relatively little wooden cubes and needs households: one needs a supply of capable dice in Lisbon, you need boats on the water and goods for sale (ships transformed into goods and go so lost) .. . We therefore have to think hard for what you use his dice

Conclusion:
The packaging of the game completely deceptive. I thought in such a small package is a little complicated game would find that you sometimes may well take to friends for an evening to play some entertaining. Far from it. The game requires a lot of concentration and to EPAM also a certain amount of time. But the runaway description took me nearly half an hour. It is much too complex to fast times to explain it to somebody. Of course, it is precisely due to its complexity interesting and fun, but one also needs to be at least two other players have the patience and would like empathize in such a complex game. Here everybody has to decide what kind of game he is looking for a travel game, it is not, but interesting in any case
(So ​​you could imagine the playmaking I took a picture with me the charts are not all next to each other but -. So much space was not -. But to each other)
