Come Play: Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road
Details
Alert! New Location!: The Board Room has closed permanently 😔. Therefore, we are trying out a new venue: Quincy Hall (https://www.quincyhallbar.com/)
Come hang out on the Silk Road in a city that was once the biggest in the world: Merv!
From the publisher:
Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road is a tense economic game charting the rise and fall of the greatest city in the world.
In Merv, 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 favorable trade deals, players attempt to redirect as much of that prosperity as possible into their own pockets.
Meanwhile, beyond the city walls Mongol hordes approach. If you help construct the city walls, you give up on precious opportunities to build up your own stature, but leave it unprotected and you will burn with the city. Every decision is weighty and the consequences of each misstep are dire. Will you rise to prominence or fade into oblivion?
We have three copies of the game, so RSVPs are capped at 12. If you can bring a copy, let us know, and we will increase the limit.
