They say you can’t take it with you...but the Merchants have certainly tried.
These captains of industry profit from Peasants and make a tempting target for Criminals. Merchants can be a mixed bag, scoring points for adjacent Peasants but taking a penalty for adjacent Criminals. Unlike most skulls, this can cause an unwary player to actually lose points on poorly-placed Merchants. Keep your eyes on your money or you’ll end up buried in debt.
Merchants is a 6-card expansion that shuffles into the game, adds the ability to play with a 4th player and is fully compatible with the solo expansion, Skulls of Sedlec: Monstrance, as well.
This expansion to Skulls of Sedlec adds a new type of skull: the Merchants. Merchants want to be next to Peasants but avoid criminals.
Adding in the expansion is easy, just shuffle in the expansion cards to the base game and play.
