Tricky Traders – Outsmart Your Rival at the Market Stalls! 🧠💼

Welcome to market week—stalls are set up, customers are arriving… and sabotage is just around the corner.

In Tricky Traders, two rival trade guilds go head-to-head. Each player secretly supports one stall and undermines another. Use influence cards to shift customers, move rats and characters, and manipulate the fame of seven market stalls across three days. Will your stall prosper—or will your rival’s scheme unravel the marketplace?

🛒 Manage the Marketplace

Over three days (morning, noon, evening phases), play two influence cards each turn to place or move customers, rats and characters across seven stalls. Influence matters.

🎯 Hidden Objectives

Each player has secret goal cards: boost one stall’s fame, trash another’s. Only at game’s end are your true aims revealed—so bluff, mislead, and anticipate your opponent.

⏱️ Quick, Strategic Duel

A compact 20-40 minute game built for two players—perfect for a head-to-head contest that demands clever timing and market control.
