A game about maximizing your benefit as a merchant while remaining prestigious through 13 rounds. PROS - Players getting onto each other's caravans is a pretty nice point of interaction. - The art and theme are interesting and evocative. - Very nice production value. CONS - The whole game feels bloated, with too many moving parts and sub-phases for what it offers (which is not that different from many other light-medium eurogames). The rulebook does also make the game hard to teach and understand for how simple it really is. - Some of its moving parts are way less important than they seem and feel like they could have been eliminated from the design, having only minimal impact but inflating the game and its brutal need for iconography. - There is very little sense of progression through the 13 rounds. Almost no engine-building means a bit of repetition can be felt.
