Dominations: Silk Road

Players expand their city networks by paying resources to add illustrated punchboard rings that form trade-route chains linking cities. Each ring grants a city up to two connections, creating linear route networks that other players may also join. Cities on the same route interact mechanically: owners score points for connections, activations allow players to take Knowledge matching any city on the route, and connected cities can act as each other’s colours for Mastery cards and effects. The expansion adds new Mastery cards that leverage routes to generate resources, Victory Points, Influence and other benefits.
