Caravans of Asia

2–6 players · 60 min · 12+

Caravans of Asia is a strategic game of trade and travel inspired by Marco Polo and the Silk Road. For thousands of years, merchant caravans have traversed the dusty routes of inner Asia, bearing strange and exotic goods from one corner of the world to the other.

In Caravans of Asia you become a merchant caravan seeking your fortune by trading goods across the continent – but beware, for there are many dangers that await you, from treacherous mountains to blinding sandstorms and thieving bandits. Your success will require wise decisions, an eye for danger, and a bit of luck.

Players buy and sell trade goods across Asia, responding to changing market conditions. You can cooperate and make deals with other players, or you can try to go it alone and make all the trades yourself. Manage your money carefully, and make sure you don't get too far in debt.
