John Company is an interactive historical game about the rise and fall of the British East India Company from the designer of Root, Pax Pamir, and Oath. John Company is a business game with an important twist: players must collectively steer the fate of a single, sprawling organization. They must navigate its vast bureaucracy while reckoning with the consequences of their actions on the Indian subcontinent.
Released to acclaim in 2017, this new edition reimagines the original game with lavish components and updated gameplay that offers new strategic challenges. John Company is the culmination of over a decade of research into the operation of the East India Company and offers an uncompromising portrait of the people who laid the foundations of the British Empire.
If you travel down that path this game starts you on, it becomes something else it becomes that work of art textured, rich and utterly enthralling, a shining light of what board games can do.
Dan Thurot (Space-Biff!)
"John Company asks its players to face the horrors of the past while still engaging in a polished and enjoyable game... this is the task of effective historical game-making."
Isaac Childres (Designer of Gloomhaven, Frosthaven)
“One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had; everything comes together smoothly and brilliantly.”
