From the publisher, Zoch:Barges, freight and profits are what it's all about in Manila, a speculative contest for 3 to 5 players 10 and up. Goods shipments, intended for transport along sea routes, are in danger of gathering dust in the warehouses or being lost at sea in a storm. While the players speculate about success and failure, the ultimate fate of the ships will be determined by the dice. This game includes a new innovation in game design: The Franz-Benno Delonge design will include, in addition to the usual paper rules, include an interactive CD-ROM version as well. The English Rio Grande Games edition does not include the CD-ROM. - BoardGameGeek
