Trading

Some additional rules for the Trading Game

  • American Indians and merchants do not cross the mountains.
    It is too dangerous and costly to cross the mountains to trade. The traders move the trade items back and forth.
  • Indian Traders can not go back to get more items.
    Again it is too costly to make many trips back and forth for just a few items.
  • The Indians already have guns.
    They will be interested in getting supplies for their guns.
  • The Indians can “buy” from other Indians.
