Welcome to O'Tali's Bizaare, a culmination of shops, inn's, gambling dens, hired guns, and more! The vendors in O'Tali's Bizaare either thrive in the chaotic ebb and flow of the bizarre or owe O'Tali a great deal of debt. These same vendors often travel outside the safety of the bizarre to find rare resources, priceless artifacts, or slay great beasts to sell in their shops. The market is competitive, and vendors must do whatever it takes to stay in demand!

Description
O'Tali's Bizaare, or OTB, is a sci-fi inspired merchant game where players strive to build-up crowds and become the most wealthy vendor in the bazaar!
Players will spend their time gathering crowds, scavenging components, and drafting items to sell in their shop. The game features a crowd building mechanic where players will be able to cultivate their crowds into the most profitable buyers throughout the game. Each crowd member has special effects that resolve when selling them items and can make or break your sales.
The game ends when one player has reached 100 gold or the player with the most gold after 5 rounds.
Game Dev
I have been working on OTB for 1 full year now. The game has gone through 7 iterations to date, with the next playtests set for later in January 2023.
The game started out as a simple card game about hunting & gathering to craft wares for a shop. In its current iteration, the game is a bustling and chaotic engine builder about selling items to gain the favor of O'Tali, the de facto owner/ruler of the bazaar where your shop resides.
It's been a journey and I've loved every second of it. I cannot wait to get this game out to the public.
