Classic Mens Gifts

In 1490, Kaiser Maximilian I awarded Franz von Taxis the contract to   deliver mail between the Kaiser’s residences in Innsbruck and Brussels.  He  did such a good job, that postal services in the country continue to be  connected with the name Thurn and Taxis. With the introduction of postal  carriages in the middle of the 17th century, members of the family were raised to Count status and given the hereditary title of Postmaster General. The game begins at this point in history.  Can you emulate the  achievements of this family and build a successful postal network?   Do you  have the talent to connect the right cities to create an effective network       and not lose sight of the need to acquire new carriages when they are needed?   Plan your moves carefully and watch your opponents’ moves  carefully, so you are prepared to respond to them.  The game takes you back in time and gives you challenges that will bring you back to the game over  and over.
