On this canal the money that matters is water. SUMMIT POUND is a free canal company game for your browser. You run the summit pound, the highest stretch of a canal, with a flight of locks going down at each end. Every boat that crosses the summit takes 12 ML of water down the locks, whatever it carries and whatever it pays. Run the summit dry and the canal shuts.
How it plays One decision runs the company: a brass reserve line on the summit gauge. Above it every boat passes, in the order it came. Below it only the cargoes you mark as priority pass. A packet boat pays £24 in tolls for the same lockful a coal boat pays £3 for. The seasons decide what water is worth.
Spring is wet, summer is dry, autumn is fair and winter is the wettest, and in summer every canal runs short, so a passage pays over three times the usual toll. Sell the water now, or hold the line high through the wet months and sell the summit in summer. If the summit falls under the red dead line the canal shuts until it refills past a re-open line.
Every waiting boat gives up, and a quarter of that trade goes to the turnpike road for good.
