Flags of all colors dance in the wind as Navirians converge to Trawl for the long-awaited Banner Festival. Generate the most profits for your trading house by selling goods, befriending the right suppliers, and making bets at the watercraft race. Opportunities abound in the floating market, but only the keenest trader will prevail! Each turn, aim to play the highest, mid, or lowest Merchandise card to unlock different actions. Utilize multi-use cards in dynamic trick-taking bouts to gain an advantage over your rival merchants. There are numerous paths to victory, but reading your opponents and timing your moves is the key to success! All set in the glorious world of Tidal Blades created by Mr. Cuddington. -description from the publisher
