Lumber: Trader is a light economic game for 2-4 players. It packs a fun and strategic economic experience into a brisk 20-30 minute game with easy to learn rules. Players buy and sell 5 different types of wood. Each type of wood confers a different ability and affects turn order. Each turn consists of players choosing the type of wood they will use to activate an ability and decide turn order, then they sell wood on the stock market, then they buy wood from the market. This game makes for a great gateway into economic games. The game comes in a wooden case made by hand in California from reclaimed wood. Each set is a unique piece of art showcasing the beautiful wood it was crafted from. —description from the publisher
