Description

Welcome to Merchants Cove, a fantasy-themed board game where you'll take on the role of a unique merchant, each with their own shop and abilities. In this 60 to 90 minute game, you'll compete against up to three other players to sell your goods to arriving adventurers at the cove's bustling markets. With a mix of dice rolling, worker placement, and tile placement, you'll need to produce goods, manage your shop's efficiency, and attract customers to get rich. As you navigate the markets, you'll have the opportunity to influence demand, secure sponsorships, and even hire local townsfolk to work in your shop. But beware, there are also corrupt rogues lurking in the shadows, offering leverage at a cost. With its engaging gameplay and high replayability, Merchants Cove is a great fit for fans of economic and fantasy games, and its normal complexity makes it accessible to those familiar with board games.
