Have you ever wanted to see a full playthrough of Merchant's Cove in LIME GREEN VISION! BJ, Jack & Jerod play through a full game for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, BJ is technically inept at getting colors right on Twitch. So, the green colors of the main board and player boards are just a little bit off. But, there's some lively commentary from the krewe, and even a few visits from fellow Twitch personalities like Panik, I Heart Board Games and BoardGamer Steph! (There's even an impromptu lesson in Portuguese, no charge).

Merchants Cove is a sight to behold, a highly asymmetrical eurogame where each player assumes the role of a different fantasy merchant with a unique shop and tries to out produce and out deliver the other players. (Think "Root" but in a euro format). Designed by Carl Van Ostrand, Drake Villareal, and Jonny Pac, and with gorgeous art by The Mico, this Final Frontiers' production is just perfect for the gameplay. Stay tuned to the end for their final thoughts on the game!

Factions played:
BJ -- The Dragon Rancher
Jack -- The Innkeeper
Jerod -- The Captain

We also played scenario #4 ("Pirates") which brought in the Underworld town visitors, plus we threw in the random boat cards each round to spice it up even more, all from The Secret Stash expansion IIRC.

Thanks for watching! And thanks to Final Frontier Games for the copy.
