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?

An innovative cardgame from Hanno and Wilfried Kuhn situated in Florenz - the cradle of the Renaissance. Artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo and da Vinci worked in this city, the preacher Savonarola established a God state and Machiavelli wrote his works on the theory of power. Here the Medici prevailed and the city saw the birth of important discoverers such as Vespucci.

As the head of an influential European aristocracy you will try to lead your family to a cultural and power-political top. In the face of the historical events of this time you promote cultural achievements such as architecture and religion, financing, the sciences and naturally also the voyages of discovery. Surround yourself with the powerful ones of this time and use all your diplomacy skills to achieve a crucial advantage against your competitors. Only the player with the most influence stones will win the game ...

Very nice combination of tile placement and betting. Players lay long tiles to build 5 towers taller and taller, whilst betting on which will be the tallest to shortest. The trick is that when you lay a tile to raise a tower one, two or three stories tall, this controls how much you can bet (1,2 or 3 tokens) and crucially, which draw pile you take from (pile 1, 2 or 3). Since the draw piles are face-up, I might want to draw from pile 3 to get a tile which will boost a tower I've bet on, but that means I have to lay a card three stories, and so I might have to play a tile from my hand that helps the other players! A very nice mechanism which gives those simple, frustrating choices we all enjoy. The scoring gives points to the first and second majority backers on each tower.

Many regard this game as a trick-taking game, however that would be a very liberal interpretation of trick-taking. Players are each given an equal set of cards, which they randomly pick a hand of seven. Each hand one suit is a trump suit, and one suit is a non-trump suit. Players place one of their cards in front of themselves, and this continues until the hand ends. At that time, the top card on their piles are compared and the best card picks his reward first, and the remaining reward going to the second place. The reward cards give players points, and the highest total at the end of the game wins. ]]> Age_9+ Availability_Out of Stock BF-2021 BF-2021-2 BGG-Set Google-True INV-M-Z INV-T Players Maximum_5 Players Players Minimum_3 Players Playtime Maximum_45 Minutes Playtime Minimum_45 Minutes Product Type_Board Games Product-International Stocky-Clearance Vintage-Exclusion Year Published_1990s https://www.vaibhavhospital.com/products/6057708481 Default Title 14.95 RIO142F 565 https://www.vaibhavhospital.com/products/251899510810 2015-01-04T13:42:00-05:00 2015-01-04T13:42:00-05:00 Uruk II: Die Entwicklung Geht Weiter - Playmat Playmat DDD Verlag GmbH
