About the game
The Voyages of Marco Polo stands as a modern classic among Euro games, celebrated by players across the globe and currently ranked among the top titles on BoardGameGeek. Over the years, it has earned its place on countless tables as a must-play title. In The Voyages of Marco Polo, players recreate the expedition that Marco Polo undertook with his father and brother in 1271. During five intense rounds, each player commands a unique character, roll the dice and take actions such as: trading, fulfilling contracts, and travelling across a vast map stretching from Venice to the distant East. The adventure continues in Marco Polo II: In the Service of the Khan, an epic successor that expands both the scope and the story. Having reached the legendary court of Kublai Khan, players are now entrusted with new missions that send them back toward the West, to the farthest frontiers of the empire. But the journey is far from over. The campaign will also feature the acclaimed expansion Agents of Venice, opening the gates to the legendary city itself. Venice offers additional spaces where players can get powerful bonuses and exclusive city actions. With its own unique movement system, the city introduces fresh strategic choices and a new way to navigate your influence across the board. New contracts, goal cards, and a set of city actions expands the opportunities to experience the game more deeply by bringing greater variety, replayability, and new paths to victory.
