At its heart I/E is a role selection game with a passive and active economy driven by player decisions. You have the power to gain over 170 unique powers by exporting shipments of goods, specializing into a varied tech tree, and building your own game engine that will be completely unique to each play!

Once your shipments enter the open sea, someone can trigger an Import action, where everyone will hold a silent auction to buy your containers and either allocate them as a future end game investment or an immediate boost to their available actions for specific roles.

The end goal of the game is to have the most credits, but every action will count on the journey there!
