What I love in Merchants & Marauders is how many ways there are to win. You can be a bloodthirsty pirate or a rich merchant only interested in gold and still compete for first place. You can even alternate between the life of a Peaceful Merchant and a Sneaky Pirate depending on what fits your game. Which is really cool.
In Merchants & Marauders 2 to 4 captains decide to go on an adventure. They take command of their ship and set sail from their hometown in the caribbean sea as traders of bananas, sugar or rum. On route they will gain fortune and glory either through trade, plunder, battle, exploration, believing in crazy stories or completing heroic missions. Their ships will grow with their fame and fortune.
Tabletop games are really fun, but learning the complicated directions and rules can be a challenge. Lavinia and Peter explain the rules quickly and easily while giving you all the tips you need to win faster.
