## Description
Get ready to turn your kingdom into a thriving trade hub! In Kingdom Legacy: Merchants, you play as a ruler attracting traders from far and wide. These merchants bring intriguing and often bizarre goods that you'll be eager to add to your collection. The catch? They are fleeting. Each merchant is available for only one round; if you can't afford their wares now, those offers are gone forever. And if the bargaining gets tough, you might even have to break out your legendary 'chicken dance' to seal the deal. Hey, it's worked before!

This expansion introduces 4 intense rounds of play and 26 new cards. The core gameplay loop focuses on resource gathering: most of your time will be spent accumulating the necessary assets to purchase cards from the visiting merchants. However, simply acquiring the cards isn't enough. To actually utilize and develop these new treasures, you'll need to engage with other expansions or the built-in content from the base game. It's a game of management, risk, and timing, where your shopping strategy determines the prosperity of your realm.

Keep in mind that since this is a Legacy game, your choices are permanent. To kick off this expansion, you'll need to perform a 'purge' of 7 standard cards and 2 permanent cards, clearing the way for the new arrivals. If you love the feeling of seeing your kingdom evolve and aren't afraid of making definitive, irreversible decisions, this expansion is the perfect upgrade for your journey.

## FAQ
### Can I play this expansion on its own?
No, it is an expansion and requires the Kingdom Legacy base game to function.

### What happens if I can't afford a merchant's card?
The merchant leaves after one round. If you didn't buy the card, that offer is gone forever.

### Do I need other expansions besides the base game?
To buy the cards, no. But to fully develop and utilize their potential, you'll need other expansions or the base game's built-in content.

### What is the 'purge' mentioned in the rules?
It is the permanent removal of cards from your deck (7 common and 2 permanent) to make room for the new content.

### Is the game complex?
It has a medium weight (2.125/5). If you're already familiar with the base game's system, the learning curve is quite smooth.

### Is this a multiplayer game?
The game is focused on the solo experience, making it ideal for those who enjoy solitaire campaigns.
