The action of the game "Merchant's Cove" takes place in the fantasy world "Five Kingdoms" - a world created by the publisher Final Frontier Games and brought to life in the illustrations by Mikhail Dmitrievsky.
"Merchant's Cove" is a Euro strategy with high asymmetry. Each participant will take control of one of the merchants, who differ strikingly from others not only in gameplay mechanics but also in the components they use. Players will get to take on the roles of a Blacksmith, a Chronomancer, an Alchemist, and a Captain - and that's just in the base game, expansions give access to other characters!
In the game, there is a common game board for all players and a unique player board for each player. Moreover, each player will have a separate set of mechanics and components.
Some will forge armor and weapons, some will create magical potions, and some will be engaged in artifact extraction. All because adventurers regularly arrive at the cove, and they need supplies for their journeys. Players will have to maintain a balance between manipulating the market and efficiently preparing goods. The game features many modules that diversify the gameplay and has very pleasant competition without aggressive conflict.
The game is simple in rules but deep in gameplay; you will enjoy being merchants in this amazing world!
