![New Game Round-up: Sell Goods and Goats on the Dark Road to Hogwarts](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/NBScwYKF4nuaTmv5fCT_Ng__medium/img/3gH3pAJTQc4ti2M1c0huvPR_r7M=/fit-in/500x500/filters:no_upscale():strip_icc()/pic5285132.png)
Discover the capital city where most of your actions will take place using a rondel action system. Collect and produce items to add to your caravan, or sell these items to local heroes and hire them to travel with you. Manipulate the market price of items, visit the back alley sellers, or delve a nearby dungeon for magical items to gain the potential for even more coin and notoriety.
Gather lanterns to ease your passage along the dark roads as you guide your caravan to distant villages. Deliver goods and heroes to the best destinations and gain fame for your bravery! Balance the money you earn with the height of your fame because your final score after a number of game rounds will reflect the lowest of these two values.
After all, what good is a purse full of the coin if the people don’t sing songs about you, and what good is a song with an empty mug of ale?
