Key reasons why Merchants of Andromeda stands out:

Why We Love It

Exciting Dutch Auctions– The auctions are frequent and tense! It’s hilarious when someone gets antsy and ends up paying too much for something. Because the auctions are on twenty-second timers, there isn’t enough time for analysis paralysis.

Engaging On Every Turn– While the active player has to make some tough decisions, everyone around the table has to stay engaged for the upcoming auctions and votes. This makes for a talkative, captivating game that has players egging each other on the whole way!

You Speculate The Market– At the end of the day, most money wins. You’ve got to spend it to make it, but sometimes taking a step back when things are over-valued is the right play!
