Effect
Delivers 1 random crate containing 50 resources with every future Home City shipment; enables buildings with economic Home City gather points to gather crates

Effect & research conditions

Research costs 100 Wood and 100 Coin and takes 10 seconds. The shipment crate is random, so its resource type is not chosen in advance. The second effect changes how buildings with economic Home City gather points interact with crates. Check which structures qualify in the current Danish setup before placing them around the shipment point.

Research condition

Available to Danes from the Commerce Age. Research it at Customs House.

When to research

Research early enough to benefit from several future Home City shipments. Its return grows with shipment frequency, while a late purchase with few cards remaining provides less value. Protect the Customs House and choose a deck with useful deliveries; the random crate should be treated as a bonus, not a fixed resource plan.

Shipment frequency and crate access

Børsen rewards continued Home City progression. Each future shipment adds a random 50-resource crate, and eligible economic buildings can gather crates through their Home City gather-point behavior. The resource type can vary, so maintain a balanced economy rather than counting on a specific crate. Researching early gives more opportunities to receive the bonus; protect the Customs House and keep the shipment plan active.
