Description provided by Gregg Jewell Games on YouTube:

Welcome to Merchant’s Solitaire, where you assume the role of an ambitious merchant determined to gain renown by offering the rarest and most coveted items to an assortment of exclusive clientele. In this game of strategy and negotiation, each customer is a potential boon or bane to your reputation. To seal a deal, you must match their offer with items from your shop, navigating a delicate balance of supply and demand. As you traverse the intricate nuances of commerce, the looming presence of the Merchants' Guild casts a shadow over your endeavors. This powerful association, commanding both economic prowess and political sway, meticulously scrutinizes your every transaction and heeds the voice of every customer. Your ultimate goal: ascend to the upper echelons of the guild's hierarchy by amassing an impeccable reputation. However, be warned – should your reputation plummet, the guild's gates will slam shut, condemning you to the depths of insignificance. All you need to play is a standard deck of playing cards and a copy of the game rules available here: https://greggjewell.itch.io/merchants-solitaire

About Merchant's Solitaire, from BoardGameGeek:

Using a standard deck of playing cards, players manage their shop's inventory and negotiate trades with customers who arrive with specific demands and offers. Each interaction involves four steps: assessing the customer's offer, crafting a suitable counteroffer from the available items in the shop, verifying the trade's legitimacy, and restocking the shop shelves. Successful trades earn positive feedback from customers, enhancing the player's standing within the guild. However, failure to meet customer demands or declining trade offers can lead to negative feedback, resulting in a loss of guild standing. If a player's standing falls too low, they face immediate removal from the guild. -description from the designer
