In this game, you become one of the characters who accompanied Marco Polo on his journeys. You start from Venice and plan the route you will follow. It is important to decide which route promises the greatest success. Will you go directly to Beijing? Or will you take the expensive sea route via Sumatra?

Apart from these strategic choices, which change in every game, the question arises as to which contracts are more profitable, and which characters are the best: Will you become the Monk Wilhelm von Rubruk, the Merchant Mercator ex Tabriz, or even Kublai Khan, the great emperor of China?

  • A strategy game with a unique movement mechanism based on the results of the five dice available to each player. Despite the variety of movements, victory points essentially come from the movement of travel and the execution of contracts. All other movements aim to gather money and resources for the aforementioned basic actions. This element limits the strategic choices of players who have to focus exclusively on these two basic actions. However, the game is not bad or boring, but it will not impress in any case.

  • A truly beautiful and high-quality game.
    With certainty, I can say that for its price (32 euros), it is a very nice game with very good construction quality, made of sturdy cardboard and wooden pieces.
    Thematically, the game is very good with unique mechanisms regarding the use of dice.
    The rules create questions! However, surely with a couple of rounds, someone will figure it out.

  • One of the best strategy board games. Very high-quality pieces inside with a small reservation for the main board, which requires attention when opening and storing because it is large. For its price (31 euros), I found it to be value for money for the entertainment it provided us.

    It is a good game of moderate difficulty, although its instruction book is somewhat poorly written. It has very nice pieces for its price.
    As for the game itself, it is one of those games that you play several times in the hope of understanding something deeper. It has many levels of strategy and gives you the feeling that by continuing to play, you will be able to understand it better and reach a point where you truly enjoy it. In reality, no matter how well you learn to play it, you have the feeling throughout the game that you can't do much in each round and ultimately the game always ends before you can fully enjoy the match. Its theme, mechanisms, and overall concept could have been implemented in something better. However, it is somewhat stubborn and always creates a sense of dissatisfaction even when you win. Nevertheless, the game is not bad. There are certainly better ones in this genre.

    A very good game...
    Initially, I was impressed with the quality of its contents, everything is well-crafted and enjoyable to hold in your hands... You understand that it's worth its money simply from the construction, not at all a "cheap" game...
    Adventurous and not at all boring...
    Unfortunately, I only have an opinion about the game for two players because we haven't been able to play it with my group yet. However, winter is coming and we will definitely enjoy it in our free afternoons...

    One small negative is that the first few times you need to read the instructions carefully because there are quite a few things you need to learn before getting used to the game...
    The first time we played, I started reading the instructions at 12:30 am and finished around 5 in the morning... Of course, we also played the game and finished at 7...
    We had a lot of fun though and we will definitely play it again, even if I have to read everything from the beginning...

    Quite a heavy game, with many instructions, which ends abruptly, resulting in always feeling like you could have changed the outcome just a little bit more.
    The construction quality is very good, rich in content, but I am greatly bothered by the presence of so many dice (26!!!!!!) in a strategy game. How can you develop a strategy when luck plays such a big role?
    To be precise, one bad roll and everything goes to waste.
    If someone can overlook this, they will enjoy the game quite a lot, which is generally quite interesting.

    It is difficult to learn. Not so much to learn the rules, but to learn to play well and strategically. Much more fun with four people than with two. Overall, I recommend it only to people who are quite involved in board games and will dedicate time to it.

    Amazing game ONCE YOU LEARN IT THOUGH!!! The only downside is that it doesn't have clear and easily understandable instructions. You need to watch several videos on YouTube to understand it correctly because it has many alternative strategies. It's definitely worth it!!! Suitable for at least 12+ children to be able to understand it.....

    Awesome strategy game.

    There are so many things to do and you can't do them all in one game! This, combined with the fact that each game is different, makes you want to play it again!

    You can earn victory points from many different aspects, making it difficult to predict the ultimate winner and difficult to assess which strategy to follow. It keeps you engaged without being tiring.

    One of the best tabletop dice placement games.

    +Excellent quality board and components. Looks very nice on the table.
    +Plenty of replayability (variable board/characters).
    +Strong strategic presence. Many options and various factors to consider in each move.
    +Despite the many dice, luck factor is small.
    +Relatively fast (20-30 minutes per player).

    -Slightly difficult instructions with minor shortcomings.
    -Usually ends a little earlier than you would like to complete everything you had planned.

  • One of the best strategy board games. Very high-quality pieces inside with a small reservation for the main board, which requires attention when opening and storing because it is large. For its price (31 euros), I found it to be value for money for the entertainment it provided us.

  • It is a good game of moderate difficulty, although its instruction book is somewhat poorly written. It has very nice pieces for its price.
    As for the game itself, it is one of those games that you play several times in the hope of understanding something deeper. It has many levels of strategy and gives you the feeling that by continuing to play, you will be able to understand it better and reach a point where you truly enjoy it. In reality, no matter how well you learn to play it, you have the feeling throughout the game that you can't do much in each round and ultimately the game always ends before you can fully enjoy the match. Its theme, mechanisms, and overall concept could have been implemented in something better. However, it is somewhat stubborn and always creates a sense of dissatisfaction even when you win. Nevertheless, the game is not bad. There are certainly better ones in this genre.
