About the game
What you do in a play session
The biggest highlight here is the attention given to the solo mode. For those who love tackling challenges alone, the expansion delivers a book with 12 thematically-driven scenarios and a deck of challenge cards, transforming the solitary experience into something much richer and more narrative. It's not just 'playing against the game,' but overcoming specific missions with their own contexts.
Regarding components, the expansion doesn't hold back. We have new tiles like the Dragon Island Festival and the Lair of Villainy, which shift the board's geography. Additionally, the inclusion of 3D cardboard boats adds that visual polish we all love, along with new Townsfolk cards, Corruption cards, and the introduction of Rogues and their respective goods, adding layers of risk and reward to the trading gameplay. If you're looking for more economic depth, new player interactions, and a robust solo mode, this is the definitive upgrade for your Merchants Cove experience.
