{"product_id":"john-company-second-edition","title":"John Company (Second Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe title is a colloquial term for the British East India Company, the organisation that ran British India (and their own army) in the 18th century. In the game, players represent families whose members work for John Company. Between them, the players build up the Company while competing for preferment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the scenario, the game lasts a certain number of rounds – unless brought to a premature end by something disastrous like the Indian Mutiny. Players gain points for the shares and prizes they've accumulated and the most points wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game is full of historical detail that makes it a real experience to play. There's also a solitaire game which is a very useful way of learning the rules – though there are a lot of these, many will only matter in very specific circumstances. I enjoyed the original edition and this one has souped-up production, making it a hefty package, and more accessible rules (definitely a plus).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor 1-6 players, aged 13+, playing time 2-4 hours.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJohn Company (Second Edition)\u003c\/em\u003e was designed by Cole Wehrle and is published by Wehrlegig\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out more:\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cem\u003eJohn Company (Second Edition)\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/332686\/john-company-second-edition\" title=\"More about John Company on Boardgamegeek (in a new window)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBoardGameGeek\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e    Pevans's review of the first edition is in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pevans.co.uk\/TWJO\/TWJO0193.pdf\" title=\"Issue 193 of To Win Just Once with review of John Company\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo Win Just Once\u003c\/em\u003e 193\u003c\/a\u003e (PDF, 1 Mb)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games from Pevans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59808920568133,"sku":"959","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/0116\/7685\/files\/John-Company-2-cover.jpg?v=1792424115","url":"https:\/\/games.pevans.co.uk\/products\/john-company-second-edition","provider":"Games from Pevans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
