Description

Dale of Merchants 3: The Grand Continental Railway whisks 2‑4 players into a rollicking fantasy world where clever critters run a cross‑continent rail empire in just 20‑40 minutes of pure, fast‑paced fun. Designed by Sami Laakso in 2020, the game’s rules are so easy to pick up that you’ll be loading your first train before anyone can finish their coffee, but the mix of hand management, set collection and snappy card drafting keeps the strategy fresh every round. You’ll draft cards, roll dice, and build your own deck, bag and pool of resources while teaming up (or sneaking a “take‑that” move) to out‑wit the other merchants. The animal‑filled fantasy theme adds a quirky charm, and the deck’s ever‑changing combos make each play feel like a new adventure. If you love a quick, chaotic, team‑oriented card game that still rewards clever combos, the Grand Continental Railway is your ticket—plus there’s an expansion, Systematic Eurasian Beavers, waiting to add even more beaver‑powered mayhem.
