Manage your stock carefully, put the best fish on the auction block and deliver them to the best markets.
The Portuguese canning industry developed throughout the 20th century, passing through periods of great splendor and extraordinary importance in the social fabric of communities close to fishing centers.
After the enormous growth caused by the influx of troops to Europe during the Second World War, the industry enjoyed a period of stability, with the consolidation of product quality and the establishment of foreign markets.
Lata ("tin can" in English) is the name of the raw material for the containers in which the fish is packed, and has proved a popular designation for the product.
The game is played over six rounds. In each round, players buy a batch of fish, tomato or olive oil, which they can then use in their factory. These preserves are then sold on the markets. This operation brings in money, which can be used to buy scorecards and increase the factory's production capacity.
The order in which each batch of raw materials is chosen is determined by an auction of action points that players secretly make by sliding their disc to the left on the action track of their individual board. The player who gives up the most action possibilities chooses the best lot, but it's clear that having more action possibilities is vital to producing more and reaching the best markets!
The player with the most victory points, awarded at the end of the game by the scorecards, wins.
Lata is the second game in the "Quinas Collection", following the success of Café, the first game in the range.
