Run your own unique fantasy merchant shop at the cove's famous piers, using role-specific mechanics to produce goods and sell them to arriving adventurers before rivals corner the market. Each merchant plays completely differently, making every combination of players a fresh asymmetric puzzle.
Prices as shown on each shop’s site, VAT included. Buying more than one game? The bundle builder finds the cheapest combination of parcels.
Set up shop as Haggatha the Oracle, dealing in fortunes, lucky charms, and the occasional bit of voodoo for the weary adventurers who wander in. Toss your runes, read the signs, and scribble down your predictions as you try to part customers from their gold without scaring them off for good.
