Fall Asleep as a Bronze Age Amber Trader Crossing Northern Europe

Travel the ancient trade routes of Bronze Age Europe as an amber trader carrying golden pieces of fossilized resin from the shores of the Baltic Sea toward distant settlements and markets.

Your journey leads through quiet pine forests, winding rivers, muddy paths, unfamiliar villages, and busy trading places where amber is exchanged for food, textiles, bronze, tools, and information. Along the way, each small trade becomes part of a much larger network connecting communities hundreds of miles apart.

Settle in for a calm journey of campfires, forest paths, river crossings, ancient commerce, and the surprisingly enormous amount of walking required so someone far away can admire a beautiful piece of tree resin.
