About this game
Animal merchants compete to build the most impressive market stall by spending cards from their decks. Dale of Merchants is a deck builder where you win by stacking sets of cards into your stall, but those stacked cards leave your deck permanently, weakening your engine. This creates a fascinating tension: build a powerful deck or dismantle it for victory points? Each game uses a different combination of animal factions, and each faction adds unique deck-manipulation mechanics.
