Dale of Merchants 3

About this board game

Dale of Merchants 3 is a standalone deck-building game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of 40 minutes.

Developed by Snowdale Design, the game is set in Daimyria, a world inhabited by animalfolks. It introduces six new animalfolk decks, each built around a different theme, gameplay focus, and set of mechanics.

These decks give the game its variety. Sharing Short-beaked Echidnas borrow cards from other players, creating a distinctive approach to play. Prepared Grizzled Tree-kangaroos, meanwhile, specialize in protecting their own valuables.

• Six new animalfolk decks
• Different gameplay focuses and mechanics across the decks
• A standalone game that can also be combined with other Dale of Merchants games

Dale of Merchants 3 can be played by itself, making it an accessible entry in the series without requiring another game. It can also be combined with other games from the Dale of Merchants series for a broader selection of animalfolk decks.

Released in 2020, the game presents the series’ deck-building format through a collection of themed animalfolk decks. Whether using the borrowing abilities of the echidnas or the protective strengths of the tree-kangaroos, players encounter different mechanics depending on the decks in play.
