The Golden Sails (2016)

About this game

Every year the merchant houses in Waard equip a caravan of ships to visit the distant islands of the wizarding world. Traders stop at twelve ports with the hope of acquiring unicorns and phoenixes, pepper and cloves, outlandish weapons, spells and gems — then of course returning home to sell these exotic products for a huge profit. Merchants can't always get what they want in The Golden Sails, though, so they need to be flexible in their plans...

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
