Description
In a land far away...
In a land far away a long time ago, you are a merchant seeking fame and fortune. Build your trade routes to connect villages and satisfy their demands for goods produced in other realms. The merchant to make the most deals wins the crown.
Gameplay
A fast-paced, thematic game that combines tic-tac-toe with strategic worker placement and supply / demand economics.
- Randomly lay out village-tiles in a grid.
- Each player takes a turn to lay one cube of their color on a selected tile.
- Trade routes are formed between tiles owned by a player.
- A deal is made when a trade route connects one village that demands a good, with the other village which demands that same good.
- The player with the most deals at the end of ten turns (or when the tiles are all claimed in the alternate ruleset) wins the game!
- Shuffle and reset the tiles for endlessly unique gameplay experiences.

Notes
