The player reaching these locations first receives 6 gold, anyone in the next space receives 5 gold, and so on down to 1 gold. After the first scoring round all players start together again at Kantschou.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay is by matching cards from hand to requirements in next free space. eg one of each good, 3 cards the same colour. Caravans tend to leap frog forward, so one players move changes the requirements for the next. In each turn a player may move as often as they can match from their hand. For those really stuck with a poor hand, 1 gold will move your caravan one place forward, but only so long as they aren't the leading caravan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAt the end of each turn the active player draws one of five face-up cards or a random card from the draw pile to replenish their hand\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Rio Grande Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":717007761,"sku":"717007761","price":30.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic804654.jpg?v=1578608904","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/marco-polo-expedition","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
