Shopkeeper Showdown

About the Game

Adventure-Mart is the kingdom’s preeminent market, specializing in everything an adventurer could need for their wildest adventures. But the current assistant to the manager has heard the call of adventure and put their two-week notice in! To find a replacement, your boss has started a competition to determine who will become the new assistant to the manager. Whoever can fill fifty bags with gold will get the title, a 2% raise, and encouragement to hang out with me (the manager), unpaid of course. Lucky you! 

Players take on the roles of competing store employees, racing to earn 50 bags of gold first. Each day, you’ll secretly decide whether you want to work in the shop or grab loot that was left behind in the dungeon. But beware: if multiple players choose the same location, you’ll be battling over the customers or loot there.

Expansion

If you want an added dose of roleplaying, sneakiness, and drama, check out the Shopkeeper Showdown: Now More RPG-ier expansion! It includes 4 new name tags for you to play as PLUS introduces motivation cards. These go with the twelve total name tags and introduce a back story and upgraded ability. Want to keep throwing your cards until you get what you want? Or literally just grab cards from the table and stash them for later? Go for it, just don't get caught! Or maybe you want to earn bags of gold every time people make deals without the stress of being sneaky? That's cool too!
