DRAPERS
Merchants Trade Wars
It is 1242 AD, and cloth is worth more than crowns. Build your workshops, command your ships and outtrade seven rival merchant cities—before pirates turn your richest voyage into their prize.
EIGHT CITIES. ONE TRADE EMPIRE.
Greater than kings
Begin as a novice cloth trader and build a production chain from sheep and dye plants to finished luxury goods. Every port is a market, every ship is a gamble and every rival can collapse your prices by choosing the same destination.
PRODUCE
Wool, cloth and vivid dyes
SAIL
Choose routes and markets
PROFIT
Earn gold and prestige
A TURN IN FIVE MOVES
Build fast. Trade together. Win alone.
Most actions happen simultaneously, keeping every merchant involved.
01
Bid
Compete for scarce farmers, millhands and seamen.
02
Build
Expand herds, plantations, workshops and harbor facilities.
03
Load
Turn wool into cloth, add valuable dyes and prepare cargo.
04
Trade
Choose distant ports and chase the best price before rivals arrive.
05
Plot
Hire the pirate and make somebody else’s voyage your profit.
FROM FLEECE TO FORTUNE
Own the whole supply chain
Acquire land, hire workers and operate specialized facilities. Shear wool, weave cloth, extract dyes and create valuable finished goods—then decide where in the Mediterranean they will command the highest price.
SHREWD DEALS. SHADY BUSINESS.
The Mediterranean is open for business
Will you become the greatest merchant of the age?
Build, bargain and sail your way to trade supremacy—or pay a pirate to make sure your rivals never arrive.
