You are a merchant weaving between junks in an Asian floating market, buying exotic goods before they sail off. Every turn you place your action markers and hope the boats you need drift your way. Timing and reading your rivals matter more than any single lucky trade.

Who it's for

Players who like tight planning and reading opponents in a compact economic game, and who enjoy a table where positioning matters more than dice.

Not for you if…

You want deep engine-building or open haggling. The theme is charming but thin, and with three players the market feels roomy rather than cutthroat.

Vibe's take

Tense positional planning wrapped in a warm market theme, where committing your actions early and reading opponents beats brute-force trading.
