Mercado

Description

Mercado: The Cutpurse is a thrilling expansion for the popular base game Mercado, designed by the renowned Rüdiger Dorn. Released in 2018, this expansion adds a fresh layer of excitement to the original game, which can be enjoyed by 2 to 4 players in just 30 minutes. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players while still offering a fun challenge for seasoned gamers. When you introduce the Cutpurse into the game, it shakes things up by adding a third market tile next to the Coin Changer and the Head Merchant, providing more opportunities for strategic play. The gameplay takes an interesting turn when players draw black counterfeit coins from their purse. Instead of placing them on their character tile, they're set aside next to the Cutpurse. This mechanic builds anticipation, as players wait to see who will be the first to accumulate three or more counterfeit coins, triggering the Cutpurse's services. When this happens, the player gets to choose between two sneaky options: stealing a seal from the next player in line or earning reputation points equal to the number of universal tender coins on the board. This adds a social element to the game, as players must strategically navigate the board and outmaneuver their opponents to come out on top. With Mercado: The Cutpurse, you'll experience a new level of cunning and strategy as you outwit your fellow players and make the most of the Cutpurse's services. The expansion seamlessly integrates with the base game, offering a fresh and exciting experience that will keep you and your friends engaged for hours. Whether you're a fan of the original Mercado or looking for a new game to add to your collection, Mercado: The Cutpurse is a great choice, providing a fun and thrilling experience for all players involved.
