The rules, step by step

Setup
Setup involves giving each player a shop board, setting out the upgrade and employee cards, and having everyone draft four cards from the item deck to form their initial hand before choosing a display item.
Objective
The main objective of Bargain Quest is to act as a savvy shopkeeper supplying adventurers, carefully managing your inventory, attracting heroes with targeted displays, and protecting them from monsters to gain maximum victory points.
On your turn
Each round proceeds through drafting cards, placing a card in your display area to attract specific heroes, selling items to customers, fighting monsters during the adventure phase, and finally upgrading your store or hiring employees.
Scoring
Scoring relies on successfully defending heroes, selling valuable items, upgrading shop infrastructure, and leveraging employee abilities to accumulate the highest point total by the final round.
