Clans of Caledonia

In the 19th century, Scotland made the transition from an agricultural to an industrialized country that heavily relied on trade and export. In the following, the food production increased significantly to feed the population growth. Linen was increasingly substituted by the cheaper cotton and raising sheep was given high importance. More and more distilleries were founded and whisky became the premium alcoholic beverage in Europe.

Players represent nine historic clans with unique abilities and compete to produce, trade and export agricultural goods and of course whisky!

The core mechanics and strategies are very thematic.

Clans of Caledonia is a midweight economic game that is set in 19th-century Scotland.

The game was crowdfunded on Kickstarter at more than $400,000 in 2017. It is already among the top 35 strategy board games of all time on Boardgamegeek!
