No timers. No stress. Found real-world settlements, master trade routes and deep production chains, and grow a calm medieval empire at your own pace.

A calm medieval trade empire, built on the real world.

No timers. No stress. No reflexes. Merchant turns the streets and cities around you into a living medieval economy — and lets you build it one unhurried decision at a time.

Found your first settlement at a real-world location, survey the land, and turn raw resources into refined goods through deep production chains. Connect your towns with trade routes, grow your population, and watch a humble camp become a prosperous empire that spans real cities and regions.

Made for unhurried afternoons — a few thoughtful minutes whenever the day allows. Your empire waits for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Found settlements at real places — a medieval map grows over the world you already know
• Master production chains — turn wood, stone and ore into lumber, bricks, food, wares, relics and luxuries
• Trade smart — move goods along trade routes to where they earn the most
• Send specialists — dispatch gatherers, carriers, minstrels and more from your caravan
• Barter with Tribes — trade and earn respect with independent settlements
• Grow your Realm — climb from district to city to region, raise your Might Score, earn noble titles
• Play with others — a persistent, shared world of fellow merchants

CALM BY DESIGN There are no countdowns forcing you back. Nothing punishes you for putting your phone down. Merchant is a slow-strategy, cozy empire builder for people who love economy, trade and tycoon games but not the grind — a location-based game you play entirely at your own pace.

Free to play, with optional in-app purchases.

Merchant uses your location to place settlements on the real-world map. The game is played in English.
