A brisk trading game where the same handful of goods is treasure in one city and junk in the next.
Who it's for
Fans of lean economic card games who enjoy optimizing value under shifting conditions, especially if you liked the earlier games in the series.
Not for you if…
You dislike keeping multiple price tables in your head at once – the city-by-city value shifts demand real bookkeeping attention.
Vibe's take
Busy and calculating – you're constantly re-checking price tables in your head, with a competitive scramble for the best building-commodity combos before opponents snap them up.
Riga sends you trading across the Hanseatic ports of the 13th-century Baltic, where the same sack of grain is worthless in one city and gold in the next. You gather commodity bundles and spend them on buildings whose value shifts depending on which city you're building in – forcing constant recalculation of what your goods are actually worth.
