📖 About This Game
TOP HAT is a resource management and market trading game where each player controls a Top Hat making company through 2 Years (8 rounds) of manufacturing and selling top hats. The in-game economy being 100% player driven, much of the strategy involved consists of being the player who can control and predict the market price of the different manufacturing goods.
From buying of the manufacturing goods to selling the finished product, the players control everything that was involved in manufacturing hats in the 1850’s. Market fluctuations are powerful tools for those who know how to wield them and clever use of capital will triumph over rigid business plans.
Will you become a household name in men’s fashion, or another bankrupt company soon forgotten by history?
