Description

In Merchants of Andromeda, you have to play the game of space politics, casting votes in the Senate, bidding on lucrative space goods, or resorting to ship combat! At the start of your turn, you draw three cards (one at a time), choosing one each to discard (which grants you a resource), keep (which grants you an action), or auction (which grants the winner both an action and a resource). To perform the Dutch auction in this game, use either a timer or the game's dedicated app — the more the timer ticks down, the less the winner will pay. Through these cards, you'll manipulate the market, play intergalactic mini-games, and resolve events. In the end, the player with the most money wins! —description from the publisher
