Caravan leaders along the Silk Road trade and upgrade spices to fulfill lucrative demands and earn the most fame.

Gameplay

Collect spice cubes, take new merchant cards from the market, and play those cards to convert spices into better ones so you can claim high-value demand cards for points. The tension is timing your upgrades and purchases while opponents snap up the best cards and score targets first.
