Pandoria: Merchants (book)

Product Description Pandoria: Merchants (book)

Overwhelmed by the Goblin hordes, the remnants of the Five Realms were forced to flee their prosperous Hiddenlands, eventually reestablishing their civilization in the newly discovered lands of Pandoria. But as they stake their claims and rebuild, the old rivalries that once brought them down resurface. You will take on the role of one of these realms, working with your opponents to develop Pandoria while also attempting to become the dominant empire in the land by gathering resources, building, and learning spells that harness the magic of this mysterious place.

Pandoria Merchants transforms the critically acclaimed board game into a “roll-n-write” game that you can print out at home and play anywhere – even online! In the more streamlined “family” version of the game, you gain valuable spells when you complete a region, and instead of managing different resources, each region rewards you with victory points. If you’re new to the world of Pandoria, Pandoria Merchants Family is a must-play.

For the first time, you can play Pandoria solo:
Your scouts have discovered a hidden valley deep in the mountains, divided by rivers and vast lakes, a place for your empire to expand exclusively! But as you begin to settle this new land, you’ll find that you’re not alone: Trolls from the surrounding hills are coming to claim your land. As you vie for influence in these 8 new areas, the Trolls are growing stronger. Can you develop your empire fast enough to be the dominant population when the land is settled?

Pandoria Merchants is one of the most interactive “roll-n-write” games ever made!

Main differences with the Pandoria Board Game:
– Pandoria Merchants retains some of the core elements of the board game, but there are some key differences beyond the components:
– You use dice to determine the 2 resources on your “tile”.
The merchants of Pandoria produce an additional resource: “Crafts”.
– You draw your worker on its own hex decree, not on a field with a resource.
– Workers remain on the board for the entire game.
– Resource tracks have a capacity of only 5, and every 2 resources above that are exchanged for a victory point.
– You can buy any Spell and Building “card” on your sheet, but if you buy all 3 in a column, your opponents can no longer buy cards from that column.
– There are no special powers for each empire.
– The artifacts and relics from the Pandoria Artifacts expansion are included in this game.
