As rival merchant explorers, you chart new lands, found cities, and claim treasures to build the most prosperous trading realm.

Gameplay

Score the most points by placing cubes on your personal map each round to expand from cities, complete regions, and link routes for bonuses. The pressure is choosing paths that pay off now while setting up future reach before your progress resets each round.
