What you love most in life is bringing the joy of the sea to people all over the world. You own a small canning company on the coast of Spain where you make the best canned goods for everyone to enjoy. You are responsible for the entire process, from managing the boats that go out in the morning, catching the fish, and finally selling your canned products. You have special goals every month, but it's not always about making the most money. It is very important to have a sustainable impact on the sea: if you harm the ocean through overfishing, you will fail in your mission. Maintaining a balanced relationship with the sea is crucial as you work hard and continue to create the best conservas in the world!
In each game of Conservas, you start each season with a single boat and some money. The sea is represented by a bag of tokens full of fish and water tiles. In each round you fish from this bag, taking some back to your facility for canning, while releasing others into the sea to reproduce.
To win you must maintain a delicate balance between fishing and growing populations. Each month has a unique set of goals, and your sustainability goals are just as important as your financial goals. Each market is also unique with specific rules and strategies for making profits. With 12 different scenarios, random decks of boats and upgrade cards, each game will provide a different challenge as you grow your business.
