Board game based on the PC game apparently. Coming up as cheapest price on Board Game Oracle. Never seen this site before but seems to be useful. Can get it for the same price elsewhere but no free postage.

As per BGG:

In Anno 1800, a board game based on the popular PC game from Ubisoft, you continuously build up your own industry to develop your home island.

Ship fleets allow for lively trade and the development of new islands in the Old and New World. You have to fulfill the wishes of your own population. While the inhabitants are initially satisfied with bread and clothing, they soon demand valuable luxury goods. You must plan production chains sensibly and keep an eye on the specialization of your population. The goal: A wise distribution of farmers, workers, craftsmen, engineers, and investors — but the competition never sleeps and can snatch the new achievements from under your nose at any time! Who can create the most prosperous island?

  Was tempted to buy but 120mins gameplay may result in a high chance of not playing it…

      If your game of Monopoly takes longer than 1 hour, you are playing it wrong.

        Seems everyone disagrees.. Maybe stop flipping the board over.

          @DMFD: It appears so. I find that the two most common flaws are that:

          1. People put taxes in the middle and pick-up money on free parking (keeping the money in circulation instead of it going to the bank).

          2. People don't auction (thus having less properties for people to land on or gain sets with).

          Everyone is welcome to disagree but these two changes alone make the game go one for much much longer than intended. It actually makes the game fun when it doesn't go for hours on end.
