In the 16th century, Jakob Fugger organized Augsburg into an impressive trading power. He possessed so much money that he could generously lend it to emperors and kings. In response, he received numerous privileges such as commercial laws, offices and honors -- and thus became increasingly wealthy.
The players take on the role of "Jakob the Rich". Who will lend his money most skillfully and enhance his prestige the most?
