The Voyages of Marco Polo
Travel the Silk Road using dice as your workers — uniquely clever.
Who it's for
Euro fans who want a distinctive twist on worker placement using dice.
Not for you if…
You dislike dice randomness or want a game without luck elements.
Vibe's take
Puzzly, tense, inventively constrained.
About this game
Roll your dice once per round, then use them as workers across the Silk Road. Each character breaks the rules differently — one uses black dice, another ignores caravans entirely. The tension between what you rolled and what you need creates a puzzle no other game quite replicates.
