Create the Merchant Card Deck:

• Separate the Merchant Cards into values 2, 4, 6, and 8 (listed on each card’s top left). Stack the 8’s first face-down on the bottom, then the 6’s on top of them, then the 4’s, and finally the 2’s on top.

• Draw the top 2 Merchant Cards and place 1 face-up into each of the 2 slots at the bottom of the Market Mat.
