This game is widely popular. However it is only in northern Allansia that you will see it in this, its original form, i.e. adopting Port Blacksand as the choice of city. Other regions have adopted it, but have also adapted it to fit with the large cities in their own areas

TThis game is a recreation of what some might say is a typical market day in the Great City of Thieves. The names of the persons involved are a mixture of actual Blacksand traders and residents as well as individuals known to the inventor of the game, the esteemed Ian Livingstone.
