Welcome to the dwarven kingdom of Nidavellir. You are a merchant taking part in a legendary tavern tradition: a game of bartering called Trök. Instead of fighting or conquering, your goal is to become the wealthiest trader by collecting sets of equipment and upgrading your trading capabilities.

Each round, you secretly choose cards, then reveal them simultaneously. Whoever plays the highest value gains control of the trade and decides how cards are exchanged. This creates a constant tug-of-war between risk and reward, where bluffing and timing are just as important as strategy.

At its heart, Trök is an engine-building gem. Every card you collect isn’t just a trophy: it’s a tool that shapes your future moves. Whether you’re cornering the market on specific sets or adapting your hand to counter your rivals, there’s a satisfying moment where everything falls into place as your long-term strategy finally pays off. It makes every victory feel hard-earned and rewarding.

It is an easy-to-learn game that offers deep, meaningful choices through card combinations and set collection. With multiple paths to victory, no player is ever completely out of the game.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Bruno Cathala and Serge Laget, the game designers, as well as the nice folks at GRRRE Games for allowing us to host their game on the platform. And our gratitude goes to Moof for the excellent BGA port.

This was your Monday release.

And remember: when a dwarf gets drunk, he doesn't fall down; he’s just getting a closer look at the gold in the floorboards! On those wise words, take care and play fair…
