The Lantern May Fade, but the Coin Still Shines

The dark season has arrived. Money is tight, but opportunity is around every corner. And while the road is costly, the rewards are great! For these adventurous merchants, fame and fortune don't wait for the coming dawn.

Become a Merchant of Highreach! Strategize and plan as you traffic the goods the kingdom needs to endure the dark season. Sell to heroes at the Ringway inn and make your fortune. Then deliver them to their faraway homes, along with a commission or two, and they'll be singing your name in the streets. Because when the darkness lifts, you'll need to balance fame and fortune if you want to be named the greatest merchant of all.

Dark dice and table presence goodness

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

In between the customized dice, the options for dice placement, market, and great art, this one is a treat for those digging a combination of all those things together, plus a solo mode. It didn't disappoint.

A disappointment

Average rating of 2 out of 5 stars

Looked forward to this but it fell flat. Another tetris game that has a traveling mechanic but it is too rushed and difficult to get things going. The heroes are more like travelers and besides the dice dictating your movement, the game is not that good.
