About this product
A clever 2-player market duel of influence, sabotage and secret goals.
A compact tactical board game for 2 players, ages 10+, with quick 20–40 minute playtime.
Outsmart your rival guild by moving customers, rats and characters around the market to boost your stalls and ruin theirs.
Product Description
Market week has arrived, the stalls are busy, and the customers are ready to spend — but behind the cheerful marketplace, two rival trade guilds are quietly causing trouble.
In Tricky Traders, two players compete to control the reputation of seven market stalls. Over three market days, you use influence cards to move characters, attract customers, remove rats, swap stalls and create just the right amount of sneaky marketplace chaos.
The twist? Your goals are hidden. One stall is secretly yours to support, while another is the competition you want to sabotage. Plan carefully, watch your opponent, and use the market’s movement to turn the crowd in your favour.
