Companies accept contracts from both US coasts, China and Europe and deliver cargo in order to make money, attract investment and pay dividends. At the same time the players accumulate their own stock investments and try to make as much money as possible in an effort to have the largest personal fortune and win the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePanamax\u003c\/em\u003e features several original mechanisms that blend together; an original dice (action) selection table, pickup-and-deliver along a single bi-directional route, a chain reaction movement system – “pushing” ships to make room throughout the Canal and a level of player interaction that is part self-interest, part mutual advantage and the freedom to choose how you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn their turn, players remove a die from the Action table to select Contracts and Load Cargo or Move ships until the pool of dice is emptied ending the Round. Over the course of three rounds these actions are blended during the turn to create a logistics network which each player uses to ship their cargo, minimize transportation fees and increase the net worth of their Company. Each Company has a limited amount of Stock that the players can purchase in exchange for investing – receiving a dividend each round. The questions for the players will be which companies are likely to yield higher dividends?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's more to explore and several ways to win, but we ask that you join us at the table and celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Panama Canal with a session of \u003cem\u003ePanamax\u003c\/em\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stronghold Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":850518997,"sku":"850518997","price":41.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic1786212_lg.png?v=1578608932","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/panamax","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
