However, the convenient route meant that attempts were conducted to transport the coveted coal resource along the river at the beginning of the industrial revolution. The first coal barges reached Kettwig in spring 1770. A little while later, barges reached the Rhine mouth at Ruhrort. The empty barges were drawn upstream by horses afterwards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, the Ruhr was not generally navigable in this time. Large dams at mills and low dams for fishing were common. At these spots the coal had to be transferred from one barge to the next. This decreased the quality of the coal considerably – sometimes only \"coal dust\" reached Ruhrort. Only the building of 14 locks between Witten and Ruhrort changed this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ruhr remained an important route for coal until the end of the 19th century. At that time the railway superseded it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuhrschifffahrt 1769-1890\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, 2-4 players transport and sell coal along the Ruhr river in Germany as profitably as possible. Progress markers are helping them. The position of each player's Ruhr barge is most important; the player furthest upriver is allowed to conduct his action first in each phase of a game turn.","brand":"Spielworxx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":388525574,"sku":"101482","price":69.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Ruhrschifffahrt_1769_-1890.jpg?v=1578608830"},{"product_id":"haspelknecht","title":"Haspelknecht (Quined Games Edition)","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/thomas-spitzer\"\u003eThomas Spitzer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/all\/quined-games\"\u003eQuined Games\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-90 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHonors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\n\u003ca ng-href=\"\/boardgamehonor\/37409\/2016-gouden-ludo-nominee\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamehonor\/37409\/2016-gouden-ludo-nominee\" style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e2016 Gouden Ludo Nominee\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column-info\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e169794\/haspelknecht\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/forum\/1565307\/haspelknecht\/reviews\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHaspelknecht\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, the third title in Thomas Spitzer's coal trilogy of games, the players take upon the role of farmers with opportunities to exploit the presence of coal in their lands in the southern part of the Ruhr region of Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game is set during the time when the lands were mostly flocked with forests and roads were rare.

Coal, after being discovered in Haspelknecht, is in high demand as cities and factories throughout the region are in need of this coveted resource. The Ruhr river presented a convenient route of transportation from the coal mines. However, the Ruhr was filled with obstacles and large dams, making it incredibly difficult to navigate. Trade coal for valuable upgrades and plan your route to victory along the Ruhr!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn more detail, the players transport and sell coal to cities and factories along the Ruhr river in the 18th and 19th centuries. By selling coal to cities and factories, players acquire unique progress markers. In the beginning, players have access only to low value coal. By selling coal to certain locations, players gain access to high value coal. In addition to selling coal, the players build warehouses, build locks, and export coal to neighboring countries in the pursuit of the most victory points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis game, an updated version of Ruhrschifffahrt 1769-1890, includes the standalone expansion The Ohio: 1811-1861.

They need to modernize these mines so that when these smaller mines are merged into larger ones, they can be prepared to take control of the auction and therefore the larger mine. Additionally, players have to ensure the availability of workers for their mines, while also constructing and caring for a railway system that comprises infrastructure in the mines. Finally, if players don't invest money or workers in their mines in order to secure them, they increase their chance of suffering a mining accident, which will lead to negative fallout when it comes time to bid for consolidated mines.
