Welcome, stranger!
It's the year 1640.
After a long time of civil war a fragile peace prevails in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
In KONTOR you are creating your own merchant family and choose a city in which you can play a game with many other players. Based in your Kontor - residence, warehouse as well as office at the same time - you administer your crafts enterprise, trade with both local and remote business partners, apply for a seat in the city's council or forge plans against your competitors.
Will you outwit the long-established and noble patrician families in your city and, against all odds, ascend to the mightiest merchants? Or will a reckless move or even the resurgence of the war cancel all your plans out?
The future is in your hands!
