About the Game

Traders of Cardonia is a medieval trading-themed package with its own unique setting. It contains a set of 3 different games.

Trading Cards: A worker placement game where the cards you play as workers with special abilities are played to a grid with unique worker placement markets on the backs. Because you choose which workers and markets to use within each game, the strategies in each game will change. And because the workers in your opponents' hands are also markets that are not available to you, the game is ever-changing from beginning to end.

Tricks of the Trade: A trick-taking card game based on the Dyad system (Dyad) in which the resources are scarce, and you must obligate other players to buy your trade goods to sell them. Assemble a team of workers that allow you to access unique special abilities.

Medley: A unique blended game experience that combines the worker placement in Trading Cards with the trick-taking aspects of Tricks of the Trade. As you play a worker placement phase, you will also draft from the available cards which can be played to tricks in the trick-taking phase.

Trading Cards and Medley also feature AI opponents for a solitaire game.
