Merchants Cove: Loot Pack

Merchants Cove – Loot Pack is a lightweight expansion that came straight from Kickstarter as a reward for backers of the Master Craft campaign. It doesn't introduce new rules or alter the core mechanics; instead, it simply adds a suite of cards that you can slot into your existing decks. The pack includes three “Beasts of the Bay” cards that provide extra action options, six “Rogue” cards (three of which replace misprinted ones) that enable unexpected tricks, and 24 “Townsfolk” cards—half pets and half inventors—that broaden the range of trade strategies. Additionally, there are 32 “Corruption” cards that add a layer of risk and reward when dealing with the five realms. As an exclusive bonus, these components were delivered free to Kickstarter backers, but they are not required to play the base game. Loot Pack works seamlessly with 1 to 4 players and keeps the game time within Merchants Cove’s usual limits, adding only a few extra rounds—roughly 5 to 10 minutes—depending on how many cards you use. If you enjoy experimenting with new tactics or want to give your sessions a little extra punch, this expansion is a practical and affordable choice. On the other hand, if you prefer to keep the original experience without extra cards, you can leave the pack aside. In short, Merchants Cove – Loot Pack offers more card options, preserves the original mechanics, and was created as a thank‑you to Kickstarter backers, without requiring additional investment.
