Description
In Carthago: Merchants & Guilds, you'll take on the role of a merchant in ancient Carthage, seeking to increase your wealth and influence within the Merchant's Guild. This city, founded by the Phoenicians around 800 years B.C., has grown into a thriving trade hub where valuable goods from around the world are exchanged. As a merchant, you'll load valuable wares, finance expeditions, and exert influence in clever ways to become the greatest merchant in Carthage. With a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, this game of tactics demands making the right decisions at the right time. Multi-use cards provide various ways to improve your status within the Merchant's Guild, and you can discover and trade valuable goods to acquire special abilities and gain influence. With its normal complexity and language-independent components, Carthago: Merchants & Guilds is an exciting and accessible game for 2 to 4 players.
