Description
In Mercante, you're the head of a merchant house in the bustling city of Tempest, where the goal is to dominate the trade of supplies and luxuries. You'll deploy agents to purchase goods from arriving ships and sell them in the most profitable markets. But it's not just about making smart business deals - you'll also need to use cunning and ruthlessness to outmaneuver your opponents and claim your place at the top of the merchant class. With 3 to 5 players competing to accumulate crowns and senatorial favors, the game is a thrilling experience of economic warfare. Designed by Jeff Tidball and published in 2012, Mercante offers a challenging yet accessible experience, with rules of normal complexity that fans of board games will quickly grasp. As you navigate the world of Mercante, you'll need to balance your finances, manage your resources, and make strategic decisions to emerge victorious and control the trade in Tempest.
