Mercato is a strategy game where players acquire properties and gain control over key industries. External events such as wars, terrorism, pandemics, global warming, and others, may impact player decisions. You will have fun trading or forcing exchanges in your quest to dominate the market. Players may move their pawns across a world map, by rolling a die, and strategically buy properties to concentrate ownership on global industries. This is a dynamic game where any player can build on their own strategy, and become the dominant player in the market, to bankrupt the rest of the players. —description from the designer
