Merchant Trails: The Silk Roads is a competitive paper-and-pencil strategy game for 3 to 5 players.

Players are curious merchants who, excited by the bustling exchange made possible by the Silk Roads, are racing to collect various goods and trade them in the diverse cities along the renowned trading route.

During each trading season, players will make trade agreements, send out camel caravans to collect goods and sell these goods in different cities on the Silk Roads. Strategise carefully, but don’t make too many enemies; the other players determine your route – and the goods available to you!
