Merchants of the Dark Road

After six months of daylight, we must now prepare for the dark season. The roads will be treacherous, but they will still have to be tackled by a select few to keep our cities thriving.

In Merchants of the Dark Road, you are one of these few brave merchants who travel the dangerous paths between cities. While the work is dangerous, fame and fortune await. Discover the capital where most of your actions will take place using a wheel action system. Collect and craft items to add to your caravan, or sell these items to local heroes and hire them to travel with you. Manipulate the market price of items, visit vendors in the alley, or delve into a nearby dungeon for magical items to earn the potential for even more coin and notoriety. Collect lanterns to ease your passage along the dark roads as you guide your caravan to distant villages.

Deliver goods and heroes to the best destinations and earn fame for your bravery! Balance the money you earn with the height of your fame because your final score after a certain number of game rounds will reflect the lower of these two values. After all, what good is a bag full of coins if people don't sing songs about you, and what good is a song with an empty beer mug?
