Marco Polo Expedition

Lead a caravan along the route from Kantschou to Daidu while collecting the most gold. Match cards showing valuable goods and caravan handlers to the requirements of the next open space, moving as often as possible during a turn. Other caravans change the available requirements as they advance, and gold can be spent to move forward when trailing. Gold is awarded at the midpoint and finish based on arrival order, and the player with the most gold at the end wins.

    This is a great game for younger children. I introduced it to my niece who is six years old and she enjoyed it. For older players however, this game falls flat. It doesn't feel like you can control much of what is going on, and once everyone adopts a hoarding strategy it only becomes a matter of luck draw.

    Interesting, but nothing I'd write home about....
