Description
A tense, economic eurogame for one to four players, charting the rise and fall of the 12th Century's greatest city.
The ancient city of Merv. A gateway between the East and the West. A hub of scholarship and trade. The greatest city in the world.
In Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road players are vying to amass power and wealth in the most prosperous city in the East. Through careful court intrigue, timely donations to the grand mosque, and securing favourable trade deals, players attempt to redirect as much of that prosperity as possible into their own pockets.
Meanwhile, beyond the city walls, the Mongol hordes approach. Secure the city walls and you may be giving up on precious opportunities to develop your own stature, but leave them unprotected and you may watch the city burn. Every decision is weighty and the consequences of each misstep are dire. Will you rise to prominence or fade into oblivion?
