Merchants of the Dark Road
2020 · 1-4 Players · 60-120 Minutes
The Lantern May Fade, but the Coin Still Shines
The dark season has arrived. Money is tight, but opportunity is around every corner. And while the road is costly, the rewards are great! For these adventurous merchants, fame and fortune don't wait for the coming dawn.
Become a Merchant of Highreach! Strategize and plan as you traffic the goods the kingdom needs to endure the dark season. Sell to heroes at the Ringway inn and make your fortune. Then deliver them to their faraway homes, along with a commission or two, and they'll be singing your name in the streets. Because when the darkness lifts, you'll need to balance fame and fortune if you want to be named the greatest merchant of all.
