Merv (1-4 players) is a beautiful modern take on the classic beige trader euro games of exchanging spices and goods.

You'll try to amass power and wealth in the prosperous heart of the Silk Road, the city of Merv. Through careful court intrigue, timely donations to the grand mosque, and favourable trade deals, players attempt to redirect as much of that prosperity as possible into their own pockets.

Meanwhile, beyond the city walls Mongol hordes approach. If you help construct the city walls, you give up on precious opportunities to build up your own stature, but leave it unprotected and you will burn with the city.
