Plunderbund

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• area influence — Players place agents and racketeers on a board representing a city to gain influence over merchants and compete for end-game scoring.
• Deck Building — Players start with a deck of cards, use them to take actions, and acquire new cards to improve their deck over the course of the game. Some cards are 'favor' cards that clog up the deck.
• Hand Management — Players have a hand limit of five cards, and the cards drawn define the actions available.
• Set Collection — Merchants seek goods matching specific attributes, and players gain points for selling these goods.
• Worker Placement — Agents are placed at merchants to be eligible to supply goods, and placement is key to selling goods and gaining points.
