Minimap of Pepper Coast
| “ | Named after one of its chief exports, the Pepper Coast is an equatorial coastal region of tropical monsoons inhabited by the Akan and Yoruba peoples. A mangrove marsh lines the coast, but gives way to upland grassy plains. Trade routes are present both inland and along the coast, along with an abundance of natural resources on land and in the sea. Each player will begin with extra resource crates to bolster their early economy. | ” |
