About the game

What you do in a play session

In Medieval Merchant, you take on the role of a medieval merchant trying to dominate trade between cities. The goal is to secure the most profitable routes while preventing your opponents from doing the same. Each city has a limited number of spaces to develop businesses or establish new trade routes. You can generate income, but beware: dominating a city can be risky, as other players may try to take control. Additionally, expanding your business may lower the value of your products but increases your market influence. In the end, the player with the most influence over the cities wins. The game offers a strategic mix of resource management, area control, and negotiations, all set in an engaging medieval backdrop.
