Objective of the Game

In Ra: Traders, you are looking to grow your Dynasty by leveraging the Nile River. Your goal is to send vessels around the region to expand your influence through trade and communication. To solidify your place among the Gods, you must bring back precious treasures and rare goods.

Setup

To get the game ready, follow these steps:

• Each player takes a Docks board and attaches it to the top of their player board as shown in the manual.
• Add all 20 Trader tiles to the cloth bag.
• Place all 40 Goods Crates within easy reach of all players.
• Add all 10 of the 10-VP Scoring tokens to the general supply along with the other tokens.

Gameplay

The game is structured into Epochs. During the Auction Phase, players compete to claim Trader tiles. When a player claims a Trader tile (either by winning an auction or by using a God tile), the following occurs:

• All OTHER players place 1 Small Goods Crate on their Docks board for each Trader tile currently in their own collection.
• The player claiming the tile places the newly claimed tile on the right side of their Docks board.

Note that the player claiming the Trader tiles does NOT receive any Goods Crates for the newly taken tiles or for any Trader tiles already in their collection.

Actions and How to Play

Players interact with the game primarily through the Auction Phase and the use of God tiles to acquire Trader tiles.

Goods Crates

Goods Crates are essential for scoring. There are two types:

• Small Goods Crates: These have a value of 1.
• Large Goods Crates: These have a value of 3. They can be exchanged for 3 Small Goods Crates when needed.

There is no limit to the number of Goods Crates that can be placed on a player's Docks board. If the supply of Goods Crates is exhausted during an Epoch, use a substitute material to track the score.

End of Game and Scoring

At the end of each Epoch, the following occurs:

• All Trader tiles are discarded from play.
• All Goods Crates located on players' Docks boards are returned to the supply for the next Epoch.

Scoring occurs during the First, Second & Third Epoch Scoring. Players gain points based on their current holdings:

• 1 point for each Trader tile.
• 1 point for each Small Goods Crate.
• 3 points for each Large Goods Crate.
