Take on the role of a fledgling proprietor in Compania, and build your company to become the wealthiest in the land! Use hidden dice placement to send your workers out to accomplish goals. Once the dice are revealed, if two or more players are competing for a space, the player with the highest value die takes it. Use your workers to grow your company's buildings to gain greater income. Buy more land, develop factories, and create a network of airships to move your goods. Manage your company skillfully to win the game! —description from the publisher
Compania supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Compania is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Compania for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Compania has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
