Team behind Dale of Merchants
Sami Laakso
Game designGraphic designIllustrations
My main design goal with Dale of Merchants was to create a simple yet deep deck building game which could be adapted to suit your or your game groups' preferences.
Seppo Kuukasjärvi
Development assistance
We want all games in the Dale of Merchants series to share a similar feel. What to include in illustrations and in flavour texts play a large role in achieving this.
Talvikki Eskelinen
World building
I see games as an art form. Much like a movie or an oil painting, a game can rise beyond mere pastime, encompassing whole worlds and evoking thoughts and emotions.
Jason Ahokas
World building
I wanted to create a rich and lively world for the game. A world which would make the players laugh, curious, and think each time they visit it.
