In the game's words
How to use it
The Customs House is a unique Danish building that generates extra income every time another player receives a shipment. It can be built at the start of the game, but only by the Explorer or a Customs House Wagon. The shipment tax income is linked to the amount of other players and can be improved with cards and technologies. These can also influence the enemies’ Home Cities and keep a permanent record of everyone’s shipments.
History
A Customs House is an official government building that collects custom tolls and registers vessels entering a territory. For the Danish kingdom, these revenues were uniquely critical. At their peak, the Øresund tolls provided two-thirds of the state's total revenue, granting the Crown immense financial independence . Established in 1429, the toll applied to non-Danish ships passing through the Øresund strait. Kronborg Castle was strategically positioned to ensure captains stopped to pay at the Helsingør Customs Chamber. To catch ships attempting to bypass the main strait, the Crown also implemented the Great Belt Tolls. This lucrative system financed ambitious royal projects like the Børsen stock exchange in Copenhagen and remained in effect for over 400 years until its abolition in 1857.
