About the game
In Taschkent 2-4 players are traveling with a caravan along the Silk Road in order to trade goods into gold or other commodities at trading posts. In the action rounds, the duration of which is random, players can build huts or trading posts at costs depending on the existing trade items. Alternatively, the players in the caravan can get money, goods, action cards or the necessary materials for new trading posts, as well as secure the starting player position for the next round. In the following trading rounds, goods may be exchanged in the trading posts if they are in demand there. For his goods, a player receives either gold or other commodities, the composition of which determines the outcome of the game.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Taschkent is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Taschkent for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
