Become a master merchant in Traders of Muziris, a dynamic print-and-play game set in the bustling port city of ancient Kerala. Over nine rounds, players navigate a colorful board of shops and harbors, spending action points to move, buy exotic goods like pepper and silk, and sell them to ships waiting in port. Completing ship contracts unlocks blueprints, gemstones, and flags that boost your prestige and end-game points. But beware—the crowd pawn can block key shops, forcing you to rethink your trading routes and timing. With resource management, clever movement, and escalating rewards, Traders of Muziris recreates the thrill of the spice trade, letting you chart your path to becoming the most successful trader on the Malabar Coast. —description from the designer
