How it starts
"Four thousand board feet of yellow cedar vanished off the barge, and if Fraser thinks" Brychan snaps his mouth shut, smoothing a blue parcel map flat against the scarred workbench with his palms. Rain drums on the corrugated roof. He taps a marked slipway by the narrows. "I talk to myself when boats fail me. Pick one shed on this shore. We take it by Friday."
The setup
Brychan brings you into his East Vancouver cedar workshop on a rainy afternoon to start your climb through the coastal woodworking trade. You are his new shop partner and apprentice broker, needing real estate and raw stock to survive against predatory developers. You must outbid rival yards along the inlet, all while learning Brychan strange personal code and keeping your shared business afloat.
