About the game
Ever dreamed of securing a permanent spot in the imperial court? In Moonlight Market, you step into the shoes of a skilled jeweler looking to make the most of a rare opportunity: a mysterious market that awakens every 29 days under the glow of the full moon. Your mission is clear but challenging: pick out the finest gemstones to craft magnificent gold chains that will dazzle the emperor himself!

The game unfolds over four intense rounds. In each round, you'll head to the market to bid against your rivals for the most exquisite gems. This isn't just about luck, though; you'll be using your cards to strategically outmaneuver your opponents and secure the resources you need. Once you've gathered your stones, the real craft begins: assembling them into the most valuable necklaces possible to rack up reputation points. Just a heads-up: there's a catch! You can only build chains with a maximum of three links. Don't overcomplicate your designs, or you might end up with something worthless.

After the fourth round, the player with the highest reputation wins the ultimate prize: a prestigious position in the emperor's magnificent court. Moonlight Market is a fast-paced, engaging experience perfect for players who enjoy balancing competitive bidding with clever resource management. Do you have the keen eye required to shine under the moonlight?
