Travel the Silk Road with powerful asymmetric abilities and dice-driven decisions
Vibe's take
Strategic, asymmetric, competitive, crunchy
Who it's for
Euro gamers who loved the original Marco Polo or enjoy asymmetric dice placement. Best at 3-4 players who appreciate varied strategies and tight competition.
Not for you if…
Some character powers feel stronger than others, which can frustrate balance-minded players. Dice luck occasionally overrides strategy.
Marco Polo II: In the Service of the Khan builds on the original's dice-as-workers formula with new destinations along the Silk Road and asymmetric character powers. Players fulfill contracts, establish trading posts, and race to Beijing serving the Khan's demands.
