Castle Merchants

Players take on the roles of merchants delivering wares to castles across a changing network of paths. Reaching a castle first earns a higher price, while later deliveries bring reduced rewards. Players manage a hand of path cards, using them either to build routes on the board or to move along existing paths. Each turn allows any number of cards to be played, but only a limited number can be drawn afterward. Rock slides may block routes, requiring merchants to adapt their plans. The first merchant to collect 18 gold wins.
