As Haggatha the Oracle, you deal in fortunes for the unfortunate. Read the stars, divine the future, and twist the fates in your attempts to part folks from their precious gold. Weary adventurers visit your shop in search of hope and guidance. You offer this through lucky charms and horoscopes, but sometimes you need to do a little voodoo, too. Just be careful not to let your dark dabblings—or dirty dishes—scare away too many honest customers!

The Oracle is a new merchant you can play as. It is centered around a roll & write style game, with a pen, dry-erase board, and custom dice tray. Each turn you throw a handful of runes (a coin, bone, voodoo meeple, and dice) into a divided dish, then you record the results on your board in various ways to perform actions—and predict the future!

My favorite merchant

This is my favorite merchant, despite me having never been a fan of roll and write games. In fact, it may have made me a convert.
I love throwing the charms in my divining dish, it feel so thematic, like I'm reading the fortunes of my customers. Those charms that you cast then determine what actions you can take. There are ways of mitigating the randomness too by being able to move charms from one side of your dish to the other or increase/decrease the value of the dice to give you a desired result.
I feel like the Oracle gives me such a wide variety of ways to produce goods or get sponsorships that isn't present with the other merchants.
I would recommend the Oracle as the first expansion merchant to buy, especially if you like roll and writes to begin with.

Root: The Underworld Expansion

Small box review

Good and small enough and not too tall to put into another box.

Excellent Game

This game is easy to learn and very fun, yet still fairly complex and will be enjoyable for experienced gamers as well as beginners. The components are all high quality, and the art is beautiful. The gameplay is unique and highly satisfying. I highly recommend Crusaders: Thy Will be Done.

One of my favourites!

Concordia has been a top 10 game for me since its release. Venus is a great addition that changes the game enough to keep it fresh without encumbering it with wholesale changes.

Mexico track is MUI CALIENTE
