Lead your guild of daring merchants on an epic quest for riches and glory, mapping new worlds, braving dangerous waters, and racing against rival explorers to claim the most valuable territories.

Your merchant guild begins from a single outpost, but as terrain cards reveal new landscapes, pathways open for your explorers to venture forth. Establish trade routes, found cities, brave the seas to new continents, and salvage treasure from shipwrecks for unique advantages.

Established cities endure when the round ends. Bold merchants who move swiftly will claim the richest territories, while cautious players risk being trapped in familiar lands as rivals expand their empires across multiple unique maps.

What Matthew says

"Guild of Merchant Explorers is exactly the type of game I love to play - fast turns, meaty decisions, and a bunch of special powers to explore. I'm really happy how it all came together, and it's still a game I look forward to getting onto the table. And I think Gerralt hit it out of the park with the illustrations, being so evocative of exploring and mapping out a new world."
