GUILD OF MERCHANT EXPLORERS: Sail for sales!

Explore strange lands, establish trade routes, and search for treasure.
 
In The Guild of Merchant Explorers, each player starts with one city on their personal map board.
Shuffle the deck of terrain cards, then reveal most of these cards one by one. Based on the terrain revealed, each player places cubes on their board that are connected to their starting city or other cubes. You want to complete areas on your board, cross the seas to new lands, and establish new cities on the board. You can explore capsized ships for treasure- which gives you special placement capabilities- and create linked connections between locations to score bonus points. Common objectives can be completed by all players, with those who complete it first scoring more points.
 
At the end of a round, all cubes are removed from each board, leaving only the cities behind, so if you do not establish new cities, you will be stuck in the same places.
 
Play it Solo or up to 4 people, simply by clicking the link below:

Let's give a big thanks to the game designers, Matthew Dunstan and Brett J. Gilbert, as well as the publisher AEG for their authorization to port this game to our platform.
It's thanks to the amazing development duo dahrf and BoucleMed that you can enjoy it directly from any device. Kudos to them!
 
That's it for your Wednesday release, and as always,
 
Take care and play fair!

This will be so nice! Really like the game, but it's super fiddly irl with all the little cubes all over the place. One table bump or grumpy cat and my entire trading empire is ruined.

Hello everyone.
I know the game from our board game con
and now I think it's great to be able to play it on BGA.

I've now created a couple of tournaments for it using my system ^,^
I would be happy to have lots of players ;-)
Best regards, Manu

We love this game, it doesn't get stale. But it will be nice to not have to worry about knocking the counters off the board with an ill-placed sleeve.
