There are only 12 merchant cards and 4-8 Merchant Ship Cards (depend on number of players) which make the deck total of 20 cards. Each merchant card has a Reputation Rank from 1 to 12 and a different Skill. Every round, each player will be deal 2 coins, 1 Merchant Ship card and 3 random Merchant Cards, at the end of the round the player with the most coins win 1 contract – who ever win 3 contracts win the game.

The Merchant Ship counting as reputation 0 may give you the chance to earn a great deal but be aware, if there are too many Merchant Ship sailing, there will be no money for anyone.
