Description

In Before the Wind, 2 to 4 players take on the roles of traders, competing to fill their warehouses with the right combination of goods to load onto a fleet of waiting commerce ships. Each vessel requires a specific set of goods, and the captains will only accept a complete delivery from a single trader. Players must navigate the challenges of auctioning, bidding, and card drafting to get the goods they need, all while keeping a close eye on the harbor's storage space and the winds that will soon set the fleet sailing. As players manage their hand and collect sets of goods, they'll need to time their deliveries perfectly to maximize their chances of success. With its unique blend of economic and nautical themes, Before the Wind offers a thrilling 75-minute gameplay experience that's easy to learn for fans of board games.
