FINDORFF - The hometown game from Friedemann Friese, Raise the important structures of Findorff, one of the 23 districts of Bremen, the hometown of Friedemann Friese. Findorff has three "F"s and is named after Jürgen Christian Findorff (1720-1792), who was responsible for draining and surveying the bog in the north of Bremen, for extracting the peat, and for populating the bog with residents. Findorff offers an economic engine builder with a resource market for peat known from Power Grid and an innovative resource management required when building rail tracks and houses. Your focus is on raising the right combination of the 25 historical structures from the period of 1803-1916. Do you raise the Reed Chair Factory or the Slaughterhouse to gain a lot of thalers, or smaller structures like Schools, the Beer Hall, or the Peat Skipper Shelter to win the game in small steps. You can even profit from the high mortality rate of this period by running a Cemetery. Only by adapting your strategy to your structures you honor Mr. Findorff, and win the game when the roadbed to Hamburg is finished. Changes for the solo game: When you are playing the solo game of Findorff, follow all rules as explained on the next pages. There are only very few additions for the Council of Findorff, as they force the roadbed construction and speed up the game.
