The Upgrades: A Market Expansion 2024

A mysterious smith has begun to appear in the marketplace providing unique and mystical wares, created from resources laid down by the locals. In times past, staffs, shadows and rags have seemingly been imbued with a similar ancient Power. But, these objects hold no Power in and of themselves. No, the Power comes from another source, and the Power provides witness. Is it the Hard Fire, or is it something more? The locals have taken to suggesting that the smith is selling his wares. But, this smith cannot be bought. Nevertheless, he doesn't offer the provision only to those who see him rightly. He offers freely to all who approach.

The Upgrades | A Market Expansion expands on The Market | A Pocket Game with a number of exciting features.

In The Upgrades, you no longer simply trade Temporary Resources for more Permanent Resources. You will now sacrifice your only source of sustenance for hope that you might find power to change everything.

What's new?

Hard Fire (a new resource building card) Upgrades (new wares to be purchased that can be leveled up) Power (a new potential win condition)

In a temporary world, even permanence is fleeting.
