Goal of the game

The main goal for each player in Merc is to have the most money at the end of each game. Money in this game is a tool for buying and selling, but there will be also game cards for influencing commodity prices. These two different gameplay elements were implemented to make it more dynamic and unpredictable for the player. Regardless of the outcome, the app will allow players to master their trading skills. Merc will also include optional paid features for more skilful play, but those are not necessary to fully enjoy the trading.
