About the game
Your kingdom is a hub of trade, attracting merchants from near and far with their intriguing and often bizarre goods. You can’t wait to add these rare treasures to your collection – and you’re more than happy to trade your own (slightly less exotic) items for them. Just make sure you have enough to offer, or you might have to break out the old chicken-dancing routine to seal the deal. It’s worked before. This is an expansion for Kingdom Legacy. It offers 4 rounds of play, and 26 new cards, most of which you need to purchase from the merchants. But beware, each merchant is only available for 1 round, and once they leave, their offers are lost forever. Most of the 4 rounds of this expansion will be spent gathering the resources needed to purchase cards from the merchants. To actually use and develop those cards, you need to play further expansions, such as the built-in expansions of the base game. To play, you need to perform a purge 7 and purge 2 permanent cards.

Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The catalogue lists Kingdom Legacy: Merchants for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Kingdom Legacy: Merchants has a complexity rating of 2.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
