Afterwork Session: Merv, Heart of the Silk Road
Details
In October, let's play games designed by Fabio Lopiano !
In the first week, we'll start with Merv: Heart of the Silk Road, a "tense economic game charting the rise and fall of the greatest city in the world."
"In Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road players are vying to amass power and wealth in the prosperous heart of the Silk Road. Through careful court intrigue, timely donations to the grand mosque, and securing favorable trade deals, players attempt to redirect as much of that prosperity as possible into their own pockets."

In a nutshell: Merv is a worker placement game with several side tracks intertwining with each other. The strength of your actions depends on how much resources you can generate at your turn. At the end of the 2nd and 3rd (final) rounds, the Mongols attack, and might destroy your building if they're unprotected.
Check out for more Fabio Lopiano's designs being played later in the month!
