Merchants Cove from Final Frontier Games, brings you an asymmetric euro game. Play as one of 4 different roles, or up to 7 with expansions, each one giving you an entirely different way of generating widgets in this game. Spend time and gain corruption, and in turn produce goods to sell to the customers as they show up at the docks. Speaking of which, manipulate those customers to ensure the right ones show up at the right time.

Scoring System
5 - Great game. Period. It's in my collection. Obviously.
4 - Really solid game but for reasons X or Y, I'm just not willing to give it my top score. Almost always a game I'm adding to my collection.
3 - A solid game. May or may not enter/leave my collection depending on a number of factors such as other similar games, personal interest, people I play with etc. Sometimes can reflect a game's allure dropping over time.
2 - I'm either not the target audience, or too many issues with it.
1 - An arguably bad game.
