Bargain Quest

Players act as shopkeepers in an adventuring town, drafting and selling gear to visiting heroes. Each round players draft item cards, secretly place choices in their shop windows, and attempt to attract wealthy heroes to equip for upcoming battles. After shops equip heroes, those heroes resolve fights against monsters; victories generate gold and prestige for the shop that supplied the gear. The game includes shop upgrades, employee hires, and evolving sets of heroes and monsters; play ends after a final monster is defeated and the highest combined gold and prestige wins.
