Kashgar: Merchants of the Silk Road
Run three caravans of cycling character cards to gather spices and race to fulfill Silk Road contracts.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy tactical engine games and the puzzle of ordering actions so the right card comes up at the right time.
Not for you if…
You want heavy interaction or a big board, since this is a fairly solitaire, plan-your-own-caravans card game.
Vibe's take
A satisfying queue-planning puzzle where sequencing which caravan member surfaces next drives everything.

About this game
A card game of Silk Road spice trading where you run three caravans, each a small deck of overlapping character cards you can only reach one at a time. On your turn you take one action from the top card of a caravan, then send it to the back, so managing which caravan member surfaces next becomes a satisfying queue-planning puzzle. First to fill enough contracts wins.
