Description
Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road is a captivating economic game where players compete to accumulate power and wealth in a thriving medieval city. As a major stop on the Silk Road, Merv is a hub of trade and commerce, and players must navigate the complexities of court intrigue, strategic donations, and lucrative trade deals to come out on top. With the ever-present threat of Mongol hordes approaching, players must balance their own ambitions with the need to protect the city. Every decision counts, and the consequences of failure are severe. Will you emerge as a prominent leader, or will your fortunes fade away? With its modular board and variable setup, Merv offers a unique experience for 1 to 4 players, lasting around 90 minutes. Designed by Fabio Lopiano, this 2020 release is a must-play for fans of city building and economic games.
