Merchants
Players manage goods and ships in a competitive market, aiming to earn the most coins by supplying goods when demand is high. Six goods cards form a demand row, with each color’s visible cards determining its value. Players place goods cubes on their ships, exchange cubes, buy special cards, draw goods, and play cards to update demand. When a color is played, players with matching cubes earn coins based on the number of visible cards of that color. Special cards provide additional ships, card draws, exchanges, or bonus income. The game ends when the goods deck runs out, and the player with the most coins wins.
