About the game
Silk Road The legendary Silk Road! An extensive system of connections. Trading flourished mightily during this period; it was such a lucrative business that merchants and traders tried to bring the most exotic goods to the west; goods such as spices, porcelain and silk were so precious in the west, that they were weighed against jewels! Together, the players move 3 caravans through the infamous trails of the Silk Road, expanding their inventory and selling at the most profitable margin in the markets. On the long road dust storms threaten, footpads lurk or fat tax collectors want to cash in! Once the caravan reaches its destination, only the best traders are rewarded with jewels. Who will have the most precious gem collection at the end of this exciting game? Game material: 1 game board, 80 cards, 30 gems, 1 cloth bag, 5 screens, 22 action tokens, 8 victory point marker 10 wooden discs, 10 stickers, 1 rulebook, 1 Summary Sheet
