Only people with the room key can create rooms. Joining still only needs the room code.
How it works
Trade Empire
Merchants negotiate face to face, confirm trades on phones, survive market events, and chase secret objectives.
- 1Each player gets a merchant role, resources, and a secret objective.
- 2The bazaar opens and players negotiate deals aloud.
- 3Trades are confirmed on phones so inventories stay honest.
- 4A market event fires, then everyone checks their private progress.
- 5After the final round, reveal objectives, inventories, and the winner.
Final score comes from objective success, inventory value, and accepted trades.
Best with 4-12 players. Hosts can choose a 3-round quick game or a 5-round full game.
Host tips
Make players stand up and negotiate in person.
Remind them that phones confirm deals, but the game is the conversation.
Do not over-explain strategy before the first round; let the market teach them.
